Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has increased the probability and frequency of concurrent extreme weather and climate events, as well as compound events, in many regions worldwide. The simultaneous occurrence of heatwaves and droughts has been observed, along with more frequent and severe compound flooding due to extreme sea levels and heavy precipitation. These events pose a significant threat to crop production and global food security, but there is a limited understanding of how climate change impacts the physiology of crops and the effectiveness of management strategies that aim to mitigate these effects. Advancements in these areas will enable scientists to enhance their capacity to develop innovative breeding and genomic platforms for accelerated crop improvement, as well as implementing effective management strategies to combat climate change.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research and review papers by global experts. Research addressing advances and new innovations regarding the impact of climate change on crop physiology and management strategies that mitigate the adverse effects will benefit the readers.

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.
