Human beings depend on the environment for stable survival and sustainable development, so the environment and organisms are one interacting body. Environment-living organism’s interactions in terms of physiology, molecular biology, and genomics are also the essential base for the related development and crossing for different disciplines where life sciences link with environmental sciences and they have resulted in many important subjects such as soil biology, eco-physiology, molecular ecology, and environmental genomics. These disciplines support current human beings’ sustainable development by providing new ways to cope with nature.

With global economic change, large-scale urbanization, and environmental pollution, human beings face more serious challenges. To solve these problems, we must understand environment-living organism’s interacting responses by these disciplines, which have been paid less attention to for the past 20 years. In this special issue, we will solicit papers from experts working with various aspects of genomic research in relation to plant biology, soil biology, agricultural sciences, and environmental protection. We invite researchers to present their novel results that can deeply understand environment-organisms’ interactions.

The special issue is dedicated to the crossing disciplines among plant biology, soil biology, microbiology, agricultural sciences, aquaculture, and eco-restoration.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Plants from physiology, molecular biology, and metabolisms to genomics
• Plant-soil interactions in terms of molecular responses
• Organisms-based eco-restoration and soil improvement
• Microbiology related to agricultural sciences, aquaculture, and environmental protection
