Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of ever-changing environmental conditions, plants have evolved remarkable molecular mechanisms to cope with various stressors. The field of molecular mechanisms of plant stress explores the intricate processes by which plants sense, signal, and respond to adverse conditions. Understanding these molecular mechanisms is crucial for developing strategies to enhance plant resilience, improve crop productivity, and ensure global food security in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.
It is my pleasure to present this Special Issue on Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Stress Adaptation in this esteemed journal. There are a number of research articles in this issue that delve into the molecular processes underlying plant stress adaptation. This area of plant biology will provide us with a better understanding of how plants respond to different environmental stresses, allowing us to develop new strategies for increasing crop resilience and productivity.
The aim of this Special Issue, "Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Stress Adaptation", is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and signaling networks involved in plant stress adaptation. This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including hormonal regulation, genetic factors, epigenetic modifications, reactive oxygen species signaling, nutrient sensing, and metabolic adaptations in plants under stress. This issue aims to advance our understanding and foster innovative strategies for improving crop resilience and productivity by exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying plant stress adaptation. In order to contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms underlying plant stress adaptation, researchers around the world were invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives.

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. Biology 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 2700 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.
