Advances in Metabolic Studies in Plant Extraction

Dear colleagues,

Today, plant extracts are a huge source of new physiologically active substances. Plants are convenient model objects for studying metabolic processes.

The development of modern analytical methods opens up endless possibilities for a detailed understanding of the processes occurring in plants. Metabolomics and metabolomic analysis of plant extracts requires increasing attention as a high impact research area.

This special issue of Metabolites "Advances in Metabolic Studies in Plant Extraction," will be dedicated not only to in-depth applications of metabolomics techniques to the plant extracts investigation, but also application of wide range analytical techniques based on Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry and Spectroscopy (including NMR and FT-IR, not exclusively), for metabolites pathway and metabolites roles research both from a fundamental as well as an applied point of view. The topics that will be covered by this special issue include (not exclusively): the metabolomic analysis, data analysis for metabolomic investigation for plant materials, the mathematical modeling of plant metabolism, metabolite imaging, and applications in quality control, process engineering, and regulatory science and all areas of herbalomics and structure elucidation for plant isolated metabolites. Important area of interest is development of sample pretreatment techniques for plant metabolites analysis. Environmental pollutant metabolites in plants and their accumulation are also in area of interest. Manuscripts dealing with other challenging issues are also highly desired.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
