With an editorial of Stan Kopriva and Andreas Weber the special issue on “Genetic Encoding of Complex Traits” includes 6 Review Papers and 3 Research Papers. The articles are about following themes:

• Annual and perennial life history
• C₄ photosynthesis
• Molecular mechanisms of plant–microflora interactions
• Role of metabolites in biotic interactions
