Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Post-transcriptional regulations of messenger RNA are keystones in gene expression and appear to be highly important for proper organism development and response to environmental cues. Both the quality and quantity of mRNAs are essential to maintain homeostasis.
In this context, the main purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent and original findings in mRNA metabolism in plants. This Special Issue invites submission in all aspects of post-transcriptional regulation in plants, including, but not limited to, translation regulation, mRNA turnover, mRNA storage or mRNA processing. Findings in response to developmental or environmental cues are welcome. Original research papers, methods, reviews and perspectives are welcome.

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.
