Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are frequently exposed to variable environmental stresses, such as drought, salt, heat, cold and nutrient deficiency, which adversely affect the plants’ growth, development, and productivity. During the lengthy process of evolution, plants evolved a complex self-regulation mechanism to adapt to abiotic stresses, such as drought and salt, in which transcription factors play an irreplaceable role. Also, plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate the crucial aspects of growth, development, and environmental stress responses. They activate a multitude of signalling cascades to elicit adaptive responses.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for molecular research on plant abiotic stress, with a special focus on plant stress resistance mechanism. We believe that this Special Issue will be helpful to researchers and for the improvement of plants’ tolerance to abiotic stresses in the future. We welcome your submission of original papers and reviews containing molecular results.
This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Deguo Han and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Xingguo Li (College of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin 150030, China).

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
