Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, the field of plant circadian research has been booming, with growing evidence that the circadian clock contributes to the fitness of plants by regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, from photosynthesis to flowering and defense mechanisms.
The circadian clock enables plants to cope with diurnal environmental changes and compensate for their sessile nature through an endogenous regulatory network and mechanism. Furthermore, it is involved in numerous biological and physiological processes, such as photoperiodic flowering, growth, metabolism, hormone signaling, and stress responses, among others. Therefore, understanding how the circadian signaling network regulates these processes and vice versa, and how it affects productivity, represents a pressing agronomic issue.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and comprehensive reviews on all aspects of the plant circadian system including, but not limited to, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic mechanisms of clock regulation; processes regulated by the clock and their connection with the predictable changes in light and temperature; etc. Articles related to modelling and computational studies unravelling plant clock insights are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Mathias Foo
Guest Editor
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. Physiologia is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
