Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well-known that plants have developed a wide variety of defense mechanisms in order to protect themselves against different stressors, such as pathogens. These defense mechanisms can be constituted by pre-formed barriers or inducible responses when defense is activated upon detection of a pathogen attack. This so-called basal resistance, or innate immunity, which is regulated by a complex signaling and transcriptional network, protects the plant against a wide array of pathogens. The plant hormones ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA) play a major regulatory role in plant immune responses. In addition, induced resistance is the phenomenon in which a plant, once appropriately stimulated, either by biological or chemical inducers, exhibits enhanced resistance against a future attack by pathogenic microbes and herbivorous insects. Induced resistance can be localized as well as systemic and can be triggered by limited pathogen infection, colonization of the roots by specific beneficial microbes, or after treatment with specific chemicals. Generally, induced resistance confers an enhanced level of protection against a broad spectrum of attackers.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to review and discuss novel contributions of the mechanisms regulating plant-induced resistance against biotic stress by natural or chemical compounds, as well as their mode of action based on transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and microRNAs analysis, contributing to sustainable agriculture.

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.
