About This Topic

Plant genetics are based an application of genetic approaches and molecular markers both for academic analyses and practical plant breeding. Currently, methods of plant genetics and molecular markers become routine in plant biology, and they develop with knowledges of plant genetics, genomics, genotyping and molecular marker analyses. Various methods of individual gene analysis and thousands of genes simultaneously in microarray can help to understand better their genetics and for the development of molecular markers. Finally, simple and effective molecular markers help scientists to analyze genetics in progenies of segregating hybrid populations for the identification and selection of the best plant genotypes. The aim of the Special Issue is to show current status of our knowledge and research in plant genetics and molecular markers application. The scope is covering wide and diverse scale of modern technologies, scientific approaches and research to understand better all aspects of genetics in plants including crops, native and commercially important plant species. Completed study and research in any aspect of plant genetics and molecular markers analysis are encourages to be submitted to the Special Issue and we especially welcome multidisciplinary scientific papers, Reviews and Mini-reviews making clear and wider our views of the topic.

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.
