Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Omics Approaches to Analyze Gene Regulation in Plants", focuses on the integration of various omics technologies to enhance our understanding of gene regulation in plant systems. This collection of research articles and reviews showcases cutting-edge methodologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, aimed at deciphering the complex networks that govern gene expression in response to environmental cues and developmental processes.

By employing these high-throughput techniques, researchers are uncovering the intricate regulatory mechanisms that influence plant growth, stress responses, and adaptation strategies. This Special Issue highlights novel findings that contribute to our knowledge of transcription factors, non-coding RNAs, and epigenetic modifications, providing insights into how plants optimize their physiological functions in diverse conditions.

Through collaborative efforts across disciplines, this Special Issue aims to foster innovative approaches to plant science, ultimately guiding the development of resilient crops with enhanced traits for food security and sustainable agriculture. This compilation serves as a valuable resource for scientists, agronomists, and biotechnologists seeking to explore the potential of omics in advancing plant gene regulation research.

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.
