Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cruciferae plants including of many important vegetables and oil crops, for example, Brassica rapa and B. napus. To increase the production (e.g., seed oil production of B. napus and yield of Chinese Cabbage), improve the quality (e.g., improve the polyunsaturated fatty acid and phytosterol in the seeds) and disease resistance (e.g., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Clubroot disease) were the most important tasks at present. The aim of this special issue was mainly focus on: (1) The innovation of new germplasm by using traditional and modern biotechnology; (2) Genome sequencing and re-sequencing analysis of Cruciferae plants; (3) Genetic dissection (e.g., QTL and GWAS analysis) and molecular mechnism analysis of important agronomy characteristics; (4) Candidate gene functional analysis (e.g., gene editing) and molecular breeding in Cruciferae plants. The research of other agronomic characteristics that not mentioned above were also encouraged.

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.
