Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental stresses such as drought and low temperatures can have serious adverse effects on plant growth and development, and crop yield. Global warming and climate change will further exacerbate the negative impact of adverse environments on plants, highlighting the necessity and importance of molecular mechanisms for plant abiotic stress response and tolerance. With the increasing maturity of high-throughput DNA sequencing technology and the development of various genetic modification methods, including CRISPR-Cas9, molecular genetics and genomics technologies are increasingly being applied to the field of plant abiotic stress research, improving our understanding of the response mechanisms of various non-model plants to environmental stress.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to analyze the response and adaptation mechanisms of plants to environmental stress by applying multiple types of omics methods, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, individually or in combination. The combination of bioinformatics and experimental validation is encouraged to analyze the abiotic stress response of plants.

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. Genes 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.
