Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are accepting submissions for an upcoming /Plants/Special Issue entitled "Role of Microbes in Alleviating Abiotic Stress in Plants".
Abiotic stresses such as excessive watering, extreme temperatures, salinity, drought, and heavy metals are the foremost limiting factors that adversely affect the plant growth development, yield and seed quality. Recently, plant-microbes interactions have emerged as an attractive area of study with potential applications in abiotic stress mitigation in plants. This Special Issue will gather information about plant–microbe interactions under abiotic stress and physiological responses and molecular signaling pathways that are at the basis of these interactions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to plant growth promoting microbes, symbiotic microbes, microbial factors, plant–microbe chemical signaling, gene expression, hormonal control of interactions as well as plant stress responses (stress adaptation, modifications of plant anatomy and the patterns of metabolite contents, stress-responsive genes, physiological responses).
In this Special Issue, different types of manuscripts, including original research papers, perspectives, or reviews, 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.

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.
