Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abiotic stresses (drought, high salinity, extreme temperatures, etc.) cause significant losses in agricultural production worldwide. For a long time, progress in developing crops that are highly tolerant to abiotic stress has not been very successful. One of the most important reasons behind this is that under field conditions, crops are often affected by two or multiple abiotic stresses simultaneously. Although we have a good understanding of how individual abiotic stresses affect plant growth, we know little about how plants adapt to the combination of abiotic stresses. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the physiological, metabolic, signaling and molecular responses of plants to stress combinations, mining of key regulators and networks, and development of crop varieties with greater tolerance to stress combinations are essential.
This Special Issue accepts publications concerning plants' signaling and responses to abiotic stress combinations. Research papers or reviews covering the molecular, biochemical, omics, physiological, and signaling cascades of plant responses to stress combinations are welcome.

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. Agronomy 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 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.
