Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Legumes provide food, feed grain, oil, and fiber for domestic consumption. Horticultural legumes are grown specifically for human diets and are useful in terms of enhancing the living environment. Legumes are an excellent source of protein and are low in fat and sodium and high in dietary fiber, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, vitamins, folate, etc.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences will focus on “Advances in Research for Legume Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding”. We encourage submissions of all kinds of work by the scientific community to accelerate legume improvement using genetic, genomic, and molecular breeding approaches. Works that bring new insights into biotic and abiotic stresses that affect legume production are also encouraged. Projects may include, but are not limited to, the following topics: improvements in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compounds derived from legumes with extra human health benefits; seed composition (fatty acids, vitamins, oil, fiber, proteins, carbohydrates, etc.); and diseases that affect cropping systems.
Dr. Naoufal Lakhssassi

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.
