Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brassica crops are important oil and vegetable crops worldwide. Abiotic stresses such as heat, cold, drought, waterlogging, salt-alkaline, and heavy metal toxicity are the major environmental factors limiting the growth, productivity and quality of Brassica crops. An improved understanding of the molecular biology of abiotic stress tolerance may contribute to efficient breeding strategies in abiotic-stress-tolerant Brassica crop cultivars.
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with a genetic, genomic, or molecular biological study of the tolerance of Brassica crops to abiotic stresses. We welcome submissions of original research and reviews.

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.
