Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It provides about 20% of the calories consumed by humans and offers more protein than any other food. However, wheat rusts, Fusarium head blight, Fusarium crown rot, powdery mildew and other wheat diseases largely compromise wheat production. A full understanding of the pathogenesis of wheat pathogens and pathogen–wheat interactions will facilitate the design and breeding of disease-resistant wheat. This forthcoming Special Issue aims to present recent research and advances in the pathogenesis of wheat pathogens, pathogen–wheat interactions, and the molecular design and breeding of disease-resistant wheat. Sub-topics may include (but are not limited to) the molecular identification of wheat pathogens, histological and cytological investigations of the infection and colonization of wheat pathogens, pathogen pathogenesis, wheat resistance/susceptibility genes and their action mechanisms, molecular design and breeding of disease-resistant wheat. Moreover, the Special Issue will serve as a forum to explore the application of new resistance or susceptibility genes in wheat breeding.

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. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
