New Insights into Plant Stress

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental stressors, including abiotic and biotic factors, can negatively affect plant growth and productivity. In recent years, our understanding of plant stress responses has significantly improved due to the advent of gold-standard plant molecular and biotechnological techniques. The emergence of omics, bioinformatics, and AI tools has also facilitated the discovery of new molecular insights as regards plant tolerance to various abiotic and biotic stress mechanisms. To foster a widespread interest in plant stress biology/physiology, this Special Issue of IJMS will present an overview of the latest findings in the field. We invite plant scientists to share their significant research contributions with the community. We welcome all types of submissions, including original research, reviews, perspectives, and opinion articles. The topics of interest are not limited and can include any relevant research within this area.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
