Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction between fungi and plants is complex. Different perspectives on this interaction have been developed under different scenarios. With the arrival of climatic changes that produce droughts or floods, plants will be highly affected. Therefore, to mitigate negative impacts, adaptation mechanisms must be established, which involve biochemical and physiological adjustments. In this sense, interactions with fungi, yeasts and bacteria will be important for the benefit of plants or their adaptation to the environment. The interest in understanding the mechanisms that underlie the phytopathogen–plant interaction has allowed us to advance the knowledge of biochemical and physiological aspects occurring not only at the plant level when responding to phytopathogen attack, but also regarding the changes that these pathogens present. In this Special Issue, we welcome colleagues to contribute critical review articles or original research articles that include biochemical and physiological aspects arising in this interaction, either by the plant or by the phytopathogen.
Topics of interest include:
- Metabolic and physiologic changes;
- Osmotic adjustment;
- Nutrient uptake;
- Signal network;
- Altered plant morphology;
- Metabolites accumulation;
- Secondary metabolism.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
