Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitrogen (N) is the mineral element required in the greatest amount by plants, and often represents a limiting factor for growth. Molecular factors involved in N fluxes (external uptake, intra- and inter-cellular movement), as well as N storage and assimilation, play crucial roles in the efficiency of plant growth and development. In addition, a new field of research recently contributed to the elucidation of signaling pathways providing cross-talk between nitrogen demands and plant developmental programs to guarantee a more efficient response to changes in N availability. Research contributions on these and other topics will be highlighted in this Special Issue, entitled “Plant Nitrogen Metabolism”.

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.
