Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding and predicting genotype x environment interactions are essential to develop varieties adapted to local pedoclimatic and managerial constraints and to design ideotypes for future climatic scenarios. In recent decades, original approaches to model these interactions, sometimes integrating genetic, ecophysiological and statistical modelling, have led to new understanding and methods with greater predictive accuracy.
New tools are now available to characterize, at a large scale, the responses of plants to their environments from the molecular to the plot level. The main focus of this Special Issue is on the most important measurements and data types in constructing datasets of various complexities and on analyses of these datasets to model genotype x environment interactions to identify pertinent breeding goals and predictive methods enabling those goals to be reached efficiently.
We will be happy to receive proposals for scientific contributions, first in the form of title and abstract.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
