Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from oxygen reduction are key players in the signaling pathways ocurring during plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. The associated oxidative processes are mainly controlled by the antioxidant and redox system, and knowledge of the response of their metabolic pathways is crucial for plants in order to cope with growing environmental constraints. Thus, the regulation and coordination of antioxidant systems is of special importance for our understanding of plant stress responses.
The purpose of this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Science is to provide a current overview of the research on antioxidant metabolic pathways in plants through the contribution of experts in the field of plant antioxidants. For this, you are invited to submit original articles, reviews, and perspectives focused on this topic, such as the chemistry of plant antioxidants, antioxidant mechanisms, improving plant antioxidants and derived products, antioxidant metabolic pathways involved in stress responses, the relationship between antioxidants and other protective systems, and other related topics. This will allow us to have an overview of the importance of these key protective mechanisms for the plant metabolism, with both basic and applied research.

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.
