Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The value of medicinal plants mainly comes from the secondary or primary metabolites they produce. Analyzing the mechanism of the interaction between the accumulation of metabolites and environmental conditions for growth using molecular biology technology is an important research direction for solving the problem of medicinal plant cultivation. On the basis of genomics research, we are able to clone genes related to enzymes involved in secondary metabolic pathways, analyze the synthesis pathways of plant metabolites, and combine metabolic engineering technology to increase compound production. At the same time, molecular technology is used to analyze the pharmacological mechanisms of these compounds, which is of great significance for enhancing the medicinal value of medicinal plants and promoting their application in the pharmaceutical industry.
This Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Genes related to biosynthesis;
- Metabolic pathways;
- Regulation of secondary metabolites;
- Pharmacological mechanism of compounds.

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.
