Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops all over the world, in particular, the East and Southeast Asia. IPCC reports show that global warming is accelerating, and this can result in a huge loss in the yield and quality of rice due to extreme climates occurring frequently. In this case, rice plants inevitably encounter various kinds of adverse environmental conditions during their whole life for their sessile nature. After thousands of years’ evolution, rice plants formed a series of complex physiological processes to tolerate and/or adapt to this adverse condition. To reveal the underlying mechanism, a Special Issue of IJMS is organized. We aim to gain more insight into the rice plants' response to various kinds of abiotic stresses, which can provide new species resources for new varieties breeding, new viewpoints for cultivation methods including exogenous regulatory, and complete the molecular regulatory network. Authors all over the world are invited to submit original research and review articles on topics related to rice plant defense mechanisms on individual or combined abiotic stresses including heat, cold, drought, salinity, UV radiation, low light condition and heavy metal toxicity.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
