Aims and Scope
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.

All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.

Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.

Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
The editor is not very responsible. The submission system cannot modify the author's information. He asked me to contact other authors myself to modify the information. Everyone has to register in the system first and then add the authors. The prerequisite is that all author information must be modified correctly and the format must meet the requirements.

This journal has now degraded into a second-rate journal. The main reason is that some domestic experts have replaced the previous editors, and the standards have declined sharply, resulting in many poor-quality articles. It used to have a relatively good international reputation, which is a pity.
