About This Topic

This special issue will focus on the genomic impacts of climate change and environmental stress on species, as well as their genetic response mechanisms. As global climate change intensifies, how species adapt to emerging environmental pressures through their genomes has become a key area of genetic research. The issue will cover the latest findings in areas such as genomic variation, transcriptomic responses, and epigenetic regulation, aiming to uncover how species genetically adapt to rapidly changing environments.

Keywords

Genomic adaptation; climate change; environmental stress; genetic variation; epigenetics; transcriptomics; gene expression; evolutionary biology; stress tolerance; adaptation mechanisms; ecological genomics; climate resilience

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.

Open Access Review Genomic Mechanisms of Plant Adaptation to Salinity and Drought Stress: Genes, Networks, and Evolutionary Implications by Md Arif Sakil  , Shagata Islam Shorna  , Maisha Rahman  , Tahmina Akter  , Prodipto Bishnu Angon  , Arpita Rani Roy  and Mohammed Arif Sadik Polash Received: 07 October 2025;  Published: 04 September 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2603356 Abstract Salinity and drought stresses induced by climate change pose critical threats to global food security, necessitating a comprehensive insight of plant adaptive mechanisms at the genomic level. This review brings together recent advances in identifying genes, regulatory networks, and evolutionary strategies underlying plant responses to osmotic [...]
