Plant Biotechnology Journal

Here are some of the most recent virtual and special issues from the journal:

Special Issue: Next Generation Sequencing Technologies

The last 5 years have seen a revolution in next-generation DNA sequencing, with plant researchers readily adopting the technology to decipher the structure and function of plant genomes. This special edition aims to capture the latest developments in plant biotechnology driven by advances in DNA sequencing technology.

GM Crops

This collection of papers is, in the PBJ editors' view, a convenient synthesis of what has been published in the field in recent years, and a useful working basis for what is to come next.
