Plant Nutrient Dynamics: From Soil to Harvest and Beyond

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue encompasses the intricate journey of essential nutrients from their availability in the soil environment through their uptake by roots, subsequent translocation to various plant organs, and their accumulation in tissues, including the edible parts. This Special Issue explores how environmental factors (such as soil properties, climate, and the presence of abiotic and biotic stresses) influence this journey.

This Special Issue highlights recent advances in nutrient absorption, transport, and accumulation in plant organs, specifically focusing on physiological, molecular, and ecological perspectives and strategies for enhancing crop nutrition under stress or low-input conditions.

This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research that drives innovation in plant nutrition science and its applications in food security and environmental sustainability.

We welcome original research and reviews on nutrient uptake mechanisms, transport, regulatory networks, rhizosphere processes, root architecture, and sustainable agriculture applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
