Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are frequently exposed to variable environmental stresses, such as drought, salt, heat, cold, and nutrient deficiency, which adversely affect plant growth, development, and productivity. In the long process of evolution, plants have evolved complex self-regulation mechanisms to adapt to abiotic stress, such as drought and salt stresses, in which transcription factors play an irreplaceable role. Also, plant hormones act as signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth, development, and environmental stress responses. They activate a multitude of signalling cascades to elicit a plant’s adaptive responses.
This Special Issue will provide a platform for molecular research on plant abiotic stress, with a special focus on plant stress resistance mechanisms. We believe that this Special Issue will enable further research on plants and lead to the improvement of plants’ tolerance to abiotic stresses in the future. We request submissions of original papers and reviews based on results from molecular viewpoints.
This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. De-Guo Han and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Xingguo Li (College of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin 150030, China).

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.
