Interpretive Summary: “Editorial: Genetic Analysis in Crops” reviewed the publications under this special topic which discussed the applications for advanced molecular techniques in agricultural research, ranging from hops, triticale, rice, water yam, and tobacco to cotton. This special issue offers invaluable insights into the genetic diversity of crops and their potential applications beyond traditional uses, as well as providing substantial contributions to understanding the structure and function of plant genes and efforts aimed at genetic improvement across these crops.

Technical Abstract: This special issue “Genetic Analysis in Crops” presents new developments and methodologies, best practices, and applications in crop science including novel empirical research, reviews, and opinion pieces covering gene identification and analysis during crop development, gene regulation and molecular mechanisms in response to abiotic stress or biotic stress, genetics and genomics studies of crop gene as well as novel approaches to investigate crop genes. The studies discussed illuminate a myriad of applications for advanced molecular techniques in agricultural research, ranging from hops, triticale, rice, water yam, and tobacco to cotton. They offer invaluable insights into the genetic diversity of these crops and their potential applications beyond traditional uses. Additionally, they delve into the complex molecular mechanisms governing crop development, providing substantial contributions to genome annotation and efforts aimed at genetic improvement across these crops. Moreover, the emphasis on genetic diversity underscores the critical need to expand our comprehension of genetic resources and reinforce genetic variation, particularly considering the challenges posed by both biotic and abiotic stressors.
