Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion transport by ion channels and transporters is an essential mechanism in maintaining the life of all living organisms and is required for nutrient uptake, responding to external and internal stimuli, and ion homeostasis in plants. Ion homeostasis is a critical regulatory mechanism for many fundamental processes, such as maintaining electroneutrality, controlling turgor pressure, membrane potential cell volume, and ion movements across the plasma membrane and organella membrane. Understanding ion transport and homeostasis is, therefore, crucially important and gets attention as one of the major research topics today. This Special Issue will shed light on the mechanisms of ion transport activities via ion channels/transporters and of ion homeostasis in plants. We warmly welcome submissions, including original research papers and reviews, on this topic.

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.
