Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past decade, genome editing technology has quickly developed through not only the study of gene function but also its wide use toward plant improvement. Currently, genome editing tools, particularly CRISPR/Cas, have been widely adopted in many plant species, and many elite plant germplasms have been created using different genome editing tools. Aside from the direct application of genome editing, many computational tools, resources, and databases have also been developed in recent years with the aim of enhancing this field and spreading the application of genome editing. This Special Issue on genome editing in Plants welcomes both invited and uninvited reviews, research articles, and application notes as well as computational tools, databases, and resources. Method papers on genome editing in plants will be also welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
