Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the molecular, genetic, biochemical and physiological mechanisms/aspects of plant virus resistance. These include, e.g., the role of dominant and recessive plant virus resistance (genes) and cell death (hypersensitive response, HR), the activities of plant defense-related genes/proteins, antioxidants, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and hormones during the signal transduction of virus resistance, and the influence of plant RNA interference processes and plant–virus protein interactions. Novel approaches for the characterization of the virus resistance of plants are welcome, e.g., studying the influence of other biotic/abiotic stresses and virus vectors on plant virus resistance, the mechanisms of the acquired, symptomless and non-host resistance of plants to viruses and descriptions of the biotechnological methods (e.g., gene editing) to introduce virus resistance to crops. Characterization of newly discovered plant–virus interactions with a focus on potential mechanisms of host resistance is also appreciated.

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.
