Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Salt stress disrupts the delicate balance of water and ions in plant cells, leading to osmotic stress and ion imbalance. Consequently, it stands as a critical abiotic stressor that hampers plant growth and development, significantly impacting global agricultural production.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue titled "Research Progress on Salt Stress in Plants" within the "Plant Science" section of Biology. This Special Issue will primarily focus on the latest advancements in plant physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and related fields concerning salt stress. Topics of interest include the effects of salt stress on plants, plant responses and tolerance mechanisms, as well as molecular breeding strategies for developing salt-tolerant plants. The findings from this Special Issue will enhance our understanding of plant responses to abiotic stresses and provide a scientific foundation for plant protection, breeding efforts, and ecological risk assessment.
We eagerly anticipate your contributions.
Dr. Yan Cheng
Guest Editor
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. Biology 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 2700 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.
