Multiomics and Biotechnological Approaches for Increasing the Abiotic Stress Resistance of Plants

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the climate change, plant abiotic stresses are major causes for the reduction of yield and quality of agricultural crops. With the rapid progress in technologies of plant multiomics and biotechnology, the resultant data have brought new challenges and opportunities in plant and agricultural sciences. Such significant advancements have helped to strengthen the profound understanding of molecular insights into the plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. There are urgent needs to understand the crucial integrative multiomics and biotechnological techniques to provide approaches for increasing plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. This Special Issue covers not only the roles of the integration of multiomics and biotechnology in the elucidation of mechanisms underlying the enhancement of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, but also the novel insights that could substantialy contribute to develop new approaches for agriculture to overcome yield and quality losses caused by abiotic stresses, which sheds light on the understanding of the sustainable agricultural production to feed the growing world population.

In this Special Issue, we aim to renew knowledge on any aspect involved in plant multiomics and biotechnology for facilitating their applications and improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses to achieve sustainable plant production in the harsh environments.

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). 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.
