The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (genetics@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.

Open Access Research Article The Use of Transgenic Resistant Plums in Transgrafting Fails to Confer Plum Pox Virus Resistance in Prunus by Michel Ravelonandro  and Pascal Briard Received: 16 January 2023;  Published: 25 July 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2303189 Abstract In order to sustain productivity, growers are implementing fruit trees to provide plum pox virus (PPV) resistant varieties. Unfortunately, classical breeding approaches have failed to develop resistant varieties. RNA interference (RNAi) silencing, as an alternate strategy, has been shown to be an efficient approach to combat PPV disease (shark [...]

Open Access Research Article Plant Breeding Integrated with Genomic-Enabled Prediction by Siamak Shirani Bidabadi  , Parisa Sharifi  and S. Mohan Jain Received: 09 June 2021;  Published: 15 September 2021;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2103137 Abstract Plant breeding programs have used conventional breeding methods, such as hybridization, induced mutations, and other methods to manipulate the plant genome within the species' natural genetic boundaries to improve crop varieties. However, repeatedly using conventional breeding methods might lead to the erosion of the gene reservoir [...]
