Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of evolving environmental challenges, understanding the genetic foundations of forest health becomes crucial. Genomic approaches, by accelerating our comprehension of the genetic and evolutionary underpinnings of nonmodel tree species, are indispensable in addressing challenges faced by forest ecosystems. They play a pivotal role in informing strategies to enhance adaptive capacities, improve conservation decisions, and advance breeding programs for resilient trees.
This Special Issue, entitled ‘Genomic Perspective on Forest Genetics and Phytopathobiomes’, aims to explore the complex interplay of genetic factors shaping the resilience of forests, with a particular focus on genomics. We invite submissions covering various topics, including investigating genetic variations in different tree species and their adaptive responses to changing environments, understanding interactions between tree hosts and pathogens, and presenting cutting-edge genomic tools for conservation to facilitate sustainable forest management. We especially encourage contributions that illuminate the genetic aspects of emerging diseases, offering insights into the adaptive capacity of forests facing climate change-induced challenges.

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.
