Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This is the second edition of the Special Issue entitled Regulation of Hormone Response in Plant Development and Stress Response: Dilemma or Synergy, whose 1st edition resulted in the publication of 11 papers.

As sessile organisms, plants grow and develop in a continuously changing environment without any possibility of escaping multiple, overlapping forms of abiotic and biotic stresses. Plant hormones, as molecule signals, will adjust their transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome in accordance with their organ developmental stage and adapt to stress. For most hormones, the different actors have been identified; however, the borders between hormones and molecule signals, such as ROS, are fuzzier, and significant efforts to decipher these pathways have been noted.

A plethora of recent research demonstrates the importance of hormonal crosstalk in regulating developmental processes and plants’ response to stress. In this context, hormonal signaling pathways cannot be considered to be isolated without any interaction or overlap with other pathways. Indeed, at each step from biosynthesis to perception and molecular response, there is mounting evidence that chromatin structure modifications, microRNAs, or post-translational modifications play regulatory roles. The between developmental programs and stress adaptation overlap at the molecular mechanism level might be regulated by hormones’ responses to molecular signals in ways not previously known. 

The aim of this Special Issue is to address and summarize the recent advances in the role of hormones in plant development and response to stresses. How does the stress response influence the developmental program? How can hormonal response participate in recovery from stress?

We aim to highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying hormone biosynthesis, perception, transduction, and response, particularly in the context of hormonal interplay and feedback regulatory mechanisms. Reviews and original research focusing on specific hormones are also 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. Cells 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.
