Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A comprehensive understanding of plant genomes with detailed and accurate analyses of the associated gene expressions is of crucial importance for both basic research and practical applications. Transcriptomics methodologies have developed considerably in the last decade, allowing analyses of expression changes both along the time and the tissue that is being analysed, as well as in response to environmental changes. Therefore, transcriptomics play a key role in identifying the relevant genes useful for improving traits related to production, reproduction, fruit quality or sustainability, among others. Citrus, including species such as sweet orange, mandarin, lemon or grapefruit, is one of the most important fruit crops in the world, both in terms of fruit production and economic value. In this Special Issue, entitled “Transcriptome Study on Citrus Plants: The Current Update”, research contributions on citrus gene expression profiles under different environmental conditions, as well as the functional characterisation of the genes involved in fruit development and ripening, will be highlighted, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms of plant responses to the environmental challenges imposed by climate change and pathogens.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
