Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A great deal of progress has been made in understanding plant ascorbate biosynthesis over the past two decades, and the importance of ascorbate in primary metabolism has been quite well established. The understanding of how ascorbate is regulated in planta has accelerated more recently, but there is still a great deal to be learnt. Key knowledge gaps are in the areas of how ascorbate is sensed and how changes in ascorbate can act in plant signaling and be integrated with other signaling networks, particularly calcium and phytohormone. Likewise, how changes in other signaling networks impact ascorbate is of interest. Therefore, the aim of the Special Issue is to summarize and broaden the knowledge in plant ascorbate regulation, sensing of changes in ascorbate levels, and integration with other signaling processes.
Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles which address the areas discussed above.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Identification and new aspects of ascorbate regulation;
- Identification and aspects of ascorbate sensing mechanisms;
- Analysis of perturbation of signaling networks with respect to ascorbate or its transduction into physiological responses;
- Techniques for the analysis and identification of mediating molecules, pathways, and networks.

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. 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.
