The paper titled "Phenomics: A Challenge for Crop Improvement in Genomic Era" published in Molecular Plant Breeding [doi: 10.5376/mpb.2015.06.0022] has been retracted, because of the dispute of authorship between Dr. Reyazul Rouf Mir and Dr. Bhat J.A. as well as the duplicating submission confirmed by the journal of Planta. We were confirmed that this retracted manuscript had been submitted to Planta on 5 May 2013 by Dr. Reyazul Rouf Mir who is the first and corresponding author as indicated, whereas the titled paper published in Molecular Plant Breeding was submitted by Dr. Bhat J.A. and signed except Dr. Reyazul Rouf Mir.
