About this Research Topic
The sequence of the Selaginella genome contains rich information that could not be described in a single paper. In addition, other research in Selaginella provides important complementary information to that found in the genome sequence. We therefore welcome submission of articles describing research using Selaginella, including Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Book Reviews, Commentaries, Perspectives, or other article types. We welcome articles on subjects including comparative genomics, genome evolution, and functional genomics, as well as analyses of specific gene families or genes in specific pathways and utilization of genomic data in population genetics and phylogenetics studies. We also welcome papers on Selaginella reproduction, life history, morphology, or other features that relate to the unique features and important evolutionary position of this key plant group. The goal of this issue is to bring the importance of Selaginella and the variety of research currently underway into focus for the plant sciences community.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements.
