Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the release of a successful Special Issue entitled “Signal transduction in Fungi”, The Journal of Fungi is pleased to announce a second Special Issue entitled “Signal Transductions in Fungi 2.0”.
Fungal developmental processes, such as growth, movement, cell division, and differentiation, are governed by multiple signaling transduction pathways, which are connected by intertwined networks. These networks are often represented by multi-subunit signaling complexes allowing the integration of multiple signals for coordinated cellular responses. Such responses include changes in the transcription of genes, the translation and modification of RNAs, and post-translational and conformational changes in proteins. Although considerable efforts have been made to identify upstream regulators and downstream targets of signaling complexes, our understanding of the mechanistic function of these multi-subunit complexes is still fragmentary.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi welcomes all kind of reviews, perspectives, and research articles that incorporate integrative or comparative approaches in fungal systems to expand our understanding of signaling complexes and transduction pathways.

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. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
