Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental conditions are the main restrictive factors to agricultural productivity worldwide by influencing the distribution, reproduction, and survival of plants. These conditions include abiotic stresses (such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, low or high temperatures, etc.) and biotic stresses (fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, etc.). Understanding the acclimation and adaptation mechanisms that plants cope with these stresses and show tolerance, is very important for crop production.
Currently, research using approaches including metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, and transcriptomics has facilitated our knowledge of response and adaptation to stress in plants. Several stress-related proteins (glutamine synthetase, pyruvate decarboxylase, ROS scavenging- and detoxification-related enzymes, etc.) and signaling agents (salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, brassinosteroids, etc.) have been found to be involved in the responses to environmental stress.
This Special Issue, "Proteomic and Metabolomic Investigations on the Response and Adaptation to the Stress of Plants", invites contributions to the novel mechanisms of plants' response to environmental conditions. We prefer to research and review articles related to stress response and tolerance to adverse abiotic and biotic stresses, especially using proteomics and metabolomics tools.

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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
