APPS Special Issue Call for Papers
“Non-model Plants: Challenges and Solutions”
Proposal submission deadline: January 20, 2025

Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is accepting proposals for a special issue: “Non-model Plants: Challenges and Solutions.” Model organisms have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of fundamental biological processes; however, their limitations restrict our ability to fully appreciate the richness and complexity of the plant kingdom. Studying non-model plants presents unique challenges due to their often complex genomes, intricate life cycles, and limited research infrastructure. This special issue seeks submissions that not only address these challenges but also propose innovative solutions and resources.
