Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the field of life sciences and involves many tools and techniques as well as molecular screening and genetic manipulation to obtain profitable or appropriable plants/plant products. Nowadays, the use of biotechnological techniques in improving the tolerance/resistance of plants to environmental stresses and plant protection products is particularly popular. Furthermore, in numerous research centers, plant biotechnologists are working to enhance the features of wood for the paper, pulp, and biofuel industries and looking for new biotechnological solutions for people and animal nutrition, phytoremediation, and phytopharmacy applications.
In this Special Issue, “Developing Methods and Molecular Basis in Plant Biotechnology”, we welcome original research articles and reviews presenting novel findings in model, crop, and medical plant biotechnology. Manuscripts should be focused on molecular research with regard to both developing methods for carrying out plant biotechnology research and basic science issues.
The following are examples of topics within the scope of this Special Issue:
- Broad aspects of plant genetic transformation using various methods;
- Findings in plant genetics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.;
- Studies focused on the molecular and biochemical basis of stress in plants;
- Other topics related to plant biotechnology and molecular research.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
