Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In their natural environment, plants have to face daily fluctuations in light and temperature. In addition, in the context of climate change, plants are now prone to face increasing extreme episodes regarding temperature (both high or low) and water availability (drought and flooding). Moreover, the availability of nutrients in soils is heterogeneous and potentially also impacted by global changes and increasing atmospheric CO2. In consequence, plants have to cope with complex multiple stresses. Many studies have uncovered that responses to combined stress do not correspond to the addition of responses to individual stress. Therefore, there is a crucial need to characterize the responses to multiple stress, from the phenotype down to the gene expression levels, to be able to identify key response modules, gene regulatory networks, favorable allele combinations for the next generation cultivars that will be best adapted to the future environmental conditions. The scope of this special issue is to highlight new findings to enlarge the knowledge on the original responses of plants to multiple, combined, stress.
Therefore, authors are invited to submit original research, together with enlightening reviews, addressing this subject.

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.
