Call for papers

Germplasm
This thematic series aims to report new progress, achievement, methodology, standards, database, and software about cotton germplasm. Explore the details and submit your article by 31 December 2023!

Abiotic Stress Tolerance
Abiotic stresses are major environmental factors that affect plant growth and survival of crop plants, particularly, cotton. Those lead to loss of yield of seed cotton and poor quality of fibres. Improving plant abiotic stress resistance is critical for agricultural productivity. Submit and share your original findings, methodology, databases, software, and opinions with the research community by 30 June 2024!

Biotechnology-based breeding
The objectives of this thematic issue are to seek manuscripts in research and reviews on biotechnology-based cotton breeding. See the details and submit your article by 31 December 2024!
