Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the expansion of population growth in recent decades, associated with the advancement of areas affected by salts in various regions of the world, one of the most imperative challenges of modern agriculture is the search for strategies for managing soil and water salinity, especially in arid and semiarid regions, as a way of ensuring food security. Thus, the successful use of brackish water for irrigation of crops or cultivation in areas with salinity and/or sodicity problems requires adequate management practices, such as the selection of salt-tolerant crops. This issue on “Crop Response and Tolerance to Salt Stress” will include studies on the effects of salts on plants, mechanisms of tolerance, crop tolerance associated with ionic relationships, physiological and biochemical responses to salt stress, osmotic, ionic, and biochemical homeostasis, and the related biomolecular mechanisms with salt stress tolerance. In this issue, original research manuscripts, short communications, and reviews are welcome. Manuscripts submitted to Agriculture must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication in another journal.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
