Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the Special Issue ‘The Effects of Reactive Radicals, Carbonyls, Aldehydes on the Development of Stress Tolerance in Plants’ is now open for papers.
Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are essential for plant life. Their accumulation adversely affects metabolism, whilst on smaller levels, they trigger defense stress responses. Similarly to ROSs, reactive carbonyl forms (RCFs), including aldehydes and ketones, are also able to harden plants against stress. They are small molecules derived from cellular carbohydrate and fatty acid degradation which cross biological membranes more easily due to their lower polarity. Well-known types include acetaldehyde, 3-butene-2-on, propionaldehyde, methylglyoxal, 4-hydroxynonenal, (E)-2-hexenal and malondialdehyde. Despite their toxic nature, the beneficial effect of RCFs, as successful chemical hardening (priming) agents, has been proven against numerous types of stresses.
Framed by this issue of Plants, we are seeking authors who wish to share novel research results related to the interaction of RCFs and ROSs regarding endogenous RCF levels, defense mechanisms (enzymatic and/or non-enzymatic), changes in assimilation (photosynthesis or nitrogen uptake) or hormonal status. Studies on induced RCF responses (exogenous RCF treatment) are also welcomed.

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.
