Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled "Exploring the Diversity of Endophytic Microorganisms: From Microbial Ecology to Agronomic Applications" aims to deepen the understanding of endophytic microorganisms, crucial microbial entities that reside within plant tissues. This issue invites original research and articles that delve into the interactions between these microorganisms and host plants, their implications in microbial ecology, and their practical applications in agronomy. The objectives include uncovering new aspects of endophytic microbial biodiversity, understanding plant–microbe interactions from an ecological and functional perspective, and exploring practical applications in crop improvement, agricultural sustainability, and plant disease management. The scope encompasses studies on the characterization of endophytic communities in different plant species, analysis of endophytes' effects on plant growth and health, development of agronomic strategies using endophytes for crop enhancement, and research linking microbial ecology to innovative agronomic applications. This Special Issue serves as a unique platform for researchers in microbiology, ecology, biotechnology, and agronomy to present their findings and contribute to advancing knowledge in this vital field.

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. Agronomy 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.
