Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photosynthesis is a fundamental process used for conducting energy obtained in many organisms around the world, allowing light energy to enter metabolic reactions. As primary producers, algae sustain a relationship with many other algal-consuming organisms, and indirectly the entire trophic web. This Special Issue intends to contribute with novelties about photosynthesis regulation, considering environmental parameters, as well as the regulation of molecular and chemical reactions. In this sense, photosynthetic reactions can produce compounds that are precursors from other secondary algal metabolism reactions, associated with the synthesis of cellular structure, pigments, phenolic compounds, and defense substances, among others. In this way, studies on the monitoring of photosynthesis and the phytochemical synthesis of metabolites are encouraged in this Special Issue.

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.
