Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants suffer from various environmental stresses including abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, cold, and ionic stress (salt, aluminum, and cadmium), as well as biotic stresses (insects, parasites, viruses, fungi, or bacteria), which limits their plant growth and development. The frequency and intensity of environmental stresses are increasing due to global warming. Multiple adaptive strategies to counter environmental stresses have been elucidated in plants, including osmotic balance, lipids signaling and metabolism, and antioxidant defense systems, etc. The rapid development of new technologys such as gene editing, genomics, phenomics, etc., will provide illuminating insights into the adaptation of plants to diverse stresses and the interaction of environmental stresses and plants.
In this Special Issue for IJMS, we will focus on physiological, metabolic, and molecular mechanisms when plants respond to abiotic and biotic stresses. Transgenic technology and omics studies based on transcriptomics, proteomics, ionomics, metabolomics, genomics, or phenomics are important approaches to reveal plant adaptation to environmental stress. Research papers and up-to-date review articles are all 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. 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.
