Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil salinization has become one of the main abiotic stress factors that reduces available cropland and affects crop growth, yield and quality. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying salt stress tolerance is essential for developing methods and strategies to improve crop resilience.
This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the recent advances in the field of functional and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to salt stress in various crops. Therefore, this Special Issue invites scientists to submit original research and review manuscripts focused on various topics related to plant salt tolerance: the identification of key components (genes, small molecules, proteins, secondary metabolites, etc.) from plants to response salt stress and their functional analysis, specific methods developed, and environmental factors acting on these interactions.

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.
