Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on rice physiology and production is one of the most important components and frontier disciplines in current rice science and even the entire agricultural science. The main focus is on studying the response characteristics of rice to different cultivation conditions and the underlying physiological basis. The emphasis is placed on exploring growth and development patterns, cultivation techniques, and physiological and molecular mechanisms to fully exploit the production potential of rice, enhance fertilizer and water use efficiency, and achieve higher yield levels and nutrient use efficiency. Based on the above, we initiated a Special Issue of Plants on “Rice Physiology and Production”, which will focus on the following:
- Physiological and molecular mechanisms of high yield and efficient use of fertilizer and water in rice;
- The regulatory role of plant hormones in the formation of rice yield and quality;
- The response characteristics and physiological mechanisms of rice growth and development to environmental stress.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

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.
