Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The unique qualities of lipid biomolecules make them foundational to cellular structure, energy storage and signaling. These same qualities are now looked upon as the basis for developing innovative biomaterials and carbon-neutral energy sources. Fueling this development is the application of improved methods to characterize and manipulate plant lipids and their metabolic pathways. As a result, the expanding field of plant lipid research and development is creating new and improved lipid compositions and means of production to meet the needs of society. This Special Issue of Plants will discuss research in plant lipid metabolism such as regulation of lipid synthesis, lipids in membrane structure and function, lipid metabolism in responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, the function of lipids in plant growth and development, and new approaches to lipid detection, analysis, and visualization.

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.
