Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The generation of complex plant architectures depends on the coordinated balance between the proliferative activity of plant meristems and the differentiation of newly formed cells and tissues into organs with definite sizes, shapes and spatial arrangements. This balance is genetically controlled by molecular regulatory networks involving key transcription factors and phytohormones which, through a complex web of interactions, drive plant developmental patterning. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind these networks is relevant to fundamental and applied research alike: agronomically relevant traits such as plant biomass, crop yield and agricultural land use all depend on the genetic mechanisms regulating plant architectures.
This Special Issue will focus on the TF–hormone molecular regulatory networks and their role in the genetic control of plant architecture, as well as explore recent advances in the regulation of meristems functions and organ formation. We will welcome original research contributions and timely review articles on model and crop species.

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.
