Special Issue Information
Climate change has a significant impact on agricultural production, particularly impacting the growth of rice, wheat, corn, soybean, rape, and other major grain and oil crops. Extreme weather, such as high temperatures, low temperatures, and drought, severely diminish crop yields. Extensive scientific research has identified the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of some stresses affecting crop growth. Additionally, major genes that regulate these changes have been discovered. However, regulating crop population to adapt to adverse conditions in field production is an effective way for mitigating the consequences of climate change disasters. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to concentrate on the following related content research:
The physiological and biochemical mechanisms of crop populations affected by adversity;
The prevention and control effect of constructing crop robust populations on adversity;
The effect of fertilizer and water regulation on the prevention and control of adversity;
The regulation and mechanism of exogenous regulation measures on adversity;
The regulation of interactions among atmosphere–soil–crop populations to adversity.
We welcome original research articles and reviews in this Special Issue, including the new research progress on the physiological changes of crops under various climate changes such as heat, cold, drought, and floods, and the strategies for the prevention and control of extreme weather and adverse conditions.

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.
