This Research Topic is part of the article collection series - Plant Genotyping: From Traditional Markers to Modern Technologies

In contrast to the external traits of plants, we cannot directly see the genotypes that comprise the underlying set of genetic material encoding these phenotypic traits. To make genotypes accessible for research and further understanding, various genotyping methods are used. Plant genotyping began with relatively simple and elementary molecular markers, like microsatellites or SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats), which were then followed by DNA sequencing and fragment analysis, PCR and qPCR, allele-specific molecular probes and primers, and now today’s modern and advanced microchip-DNA technology involving hundreds and thousands of reactions simultaneously.

In this Research Topic, we want to focus on plant study affected by various stresses, and many other aspects of plant growth and development. The results of plant genotyping are important not only in advancing scientific progress, but in supporting biodiversity and biosecurity, the analysis of plant-derived products for use in food, medicine, or other industries, and their practical application in crop breeding. Therefore, plant genotyping remains one of the major important strategies for our future, and that of the biosphere.

The goal of this Research Topic is to showcase the current status of our knowledge and progress in the genotyping of plants with various origins and conditions, using available methods and technologies to target various genes of interest in any plant species. This covers a wide and diverse range of areas, from traditional molecular markers to modern molecular microarray technologies, scientific approaches, and research ideas; all aimed at achieving a better understanding of and practical application of plant genotyping.

The scope of the Research Topic includes all manuscript types covering the following, but not limited to, areas:
• Molecular marker development and use for plant genotyping
• Plant genotyping based on traditional molecular markers and marker-assisted selection
• PCR-based plant genotyping: theoretical and practical applications
• Allele-specific, non-fluorescent, and FRET-based genotyping and new marker development
• Microarray technologies for whole-genome analysis in plants
• Plant genotyping for modern plant biology, ecology, food security, crop breeding, and other applications

Please note: Descriptive studies that report responses of growth, yield, or quality to different conditions or treatments will not be considered unless they provide novel insights into the molecular, genetic, or physiological understanding of these responses.
