Thematic Series

Call for papers

Germplasm
This thematic series aims to report new progress, achievement, methodology, standards, database, and software about cotton germplasm. 
Open for submissions until: 30 June 2024

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. Share your original findings, methodology, databases, software, and opinions with the research community!
