Special Issue on Wheat

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food. World trade in wheat is greater than for all other crops combined. In 2016, world production of wheat was 749 million tonnes, making it the second most-produced cereal after maize.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring wheat. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Genetics
• Wheat breeding
• Pests and wheat diseases
• Wheat production and consumption
• Nutrition and health effects
• World markets and trade

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Plant Abiotic Stress” should be selected during your submission.
