Improving crop resilience under drought and other relatedabiotic stresses.

As part of Interdrought VIII, in silico Plants is publishing a special issue
dedicated to the latest advances in modeling approaches that contribute to
understanding and improving crop resilience under drought and other related
abiotic stresses.

This issue will feature selected contributions presented at the Interdrought
VIII conference and external contributions highlighting innovative
computational methods, genotype-by-environment-by-management (G×E×M)
interactions, ecophysiological simulations, and trait-based modeling. We are
particularly interested in studies that combine modeling, envirotyping,
ideotyping, phenotyping, and genetics to enhance crop resilience under water-
limited conditions, as well as approaches that integrate ’omics data (e.g.,
genomics, phenomics, metabolomics, enviromics) and systems biology into
predictive frameworks. Contributions with concrete applications, in particular
in agroecological and agri-systems transitions, are strongly encouraged.

By bridging modeling, genetics, and physiological frontiers, this special
issue aims to support climate-smart agriculture and contribute to the design
and development of more resilient crops and cropping systems across complex
target populations of environments (TPEs).

If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please contact Dr
Amir Hajjarpoor (Amir.Hajjarpoor@julius-kuehn.de) with a tentative title, list
of authors, and a short abstract or outline.

Special Issue Editors:
Amir Hajjarpoor, Julius Kühn-Institut
Karine Chenu, The University of Queensland
Jana Kholová, Czech University of Life Sciences

Interdrought VIII will be held in La Serena, Chile November 17 – 21, 2025.
