Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue “Mechanisms of Plant Growth Regulation: From Hormonal Control to Genetic Networks” aims to provide an exploration of how plants regulate their growth and development through hormonal signals and genetic networks. With advancements in plant biology, our understanding of these regulatory mechanisms has expanded significantly. We will seek innovative research on the roles of plant hormones, genetic pathways, and molecular interactions that govern plant growth. We invite contributions that offer insights into how hormonal signals influence growth patterns, how genetic networks orchestrate developmental processes, and how these mechanisms integrate with environmental factors.
We encourage researchers to share their findings and perspectives to advance our collective understanding of plant growth mechanisms through this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Man-Ho Oh

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.
