Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In nature and agricultural systems, plants are constantly exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stresses. However, changing environmental conditions associated to climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of these stressors. Biotic stress (such as pathogens and pest attacks) and abiotic stress (such as drought, excess salt, flood, extreme heat and cold, heavy metals, radiation, etc.) caused adverse effects on plant growth, development, survival, and yield. In response to these changing circumstances, plants have evolved a series of molecular mechanisms to quickly perceive and respond to the environment. Proteins play a crucialrole of proteins in the plant defence responses. Currently, proteomics has been transformed from an isolated field into a comprehensive tool for biological research that can be used to explain biological functions. Several studies have successfully used the power of proteomics as a discovery tool to uncover plant resistance mechanisms and as a part of the Systems Biology
The purpose of this Special Issue is to investigate the current state of the -art, discuss recent research challenges, understand the mechanisms of plant abiotic and biotic stress adaptation, and the application of proteomics techniques to further explore and research.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
