Crop Genetics, Genomics and Breeding
A section of Agriculture (ISSN 2077-0472).
Section Information
The "Crop Genetics, Genomics and Breeding" section aims to publish high-quality scientific contributions that offer novel insights into the impact of various methods, tools, and analyses on crop diversity, including cultigen pools and wild relatives, trait genetics, plant breeding trials, methods and tools. We will consider research manuscripts and reviews on phenotyping methods, genotype-by-environment interactions, genotype stability across sites or over years, optimum plot size and shape, the appropriate number of environments (sites, seasons, or years) and replications for breeding trials, as well as the use of multi-trait selection indices in breeding. Additionally, assessments of crop diversity and genetic variation using omics are encouraged. Research on association genetics (GWAS) and genomic prediction (GEBV) based on replicated multi-environment trials, the use of best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) or predictors (BLUPs), and co-ancestry as a covariate in breeding trials are particularly welcome. We invite the submission of articles providing novel omics data on genotype-by-environment interactions and phenotypic stability or plasticity. The journal considers in this section papers on the use of genetic engineering for transgenics, gene editing and other new breeding technology (NBT) in crops. We urge the scientific community to contribute significant and innovative research to enhance our understanding of diversity characterization and genotype evaluation (including phenomics and handling of big data) for further use in breeding and cultivar development.
