Emerging Research in Plant Photosynthesis Considerations in Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

Photosynthesis is a very important biological process in which, with the participation of light and with the help of chlorophyll and some carotenoid pigments, organic compounds, mainly sugars, are formed from simple inorganic compounds, carbon dioxide, and water. The efficiency of photosynthesis has a great impact on yield. Improving plant solar energy efficiency could be a way to increase the amount of food produced. As a result, this Special Issue focuses on new research on plant photosynthesis in agriculture. This Special Issue covers recent advances in the biochemistry and molecular physiology of the various stages of photosynthesis and their regulation. We invite and encourage researchers to submit original scientific papers that address a variety of topics related to the entire photosynthesis process, including but not limited to: chlorophylls, photosynthesis, photoprotection, photosystem, photosynthetic efficiency, Calvin cycle, carotenoids, genetic regulation of photosynthetic traits.

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.
