Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the presence of extreme environmental conditions, such as heat, salinity, and a decrease in water availability, plants can suffer a devastating impact on their growth and productivity, with the possibility that entire ecosystems could collapse. Systemic signaling and systemic acquired acclimation (SAA) are essential to the survival of plants during abiotic stress episodes. Microorganisms, the most common inhabitants of diverse environments, are capable of mitigating abiotic stress through their metabolic capabilities. It is well known that plants–microbe interactions involve a number of complex mechanisms within the plant's cellular system. Research in the field of biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology is paving the way for a better understanding of the complex yet integrated functions of the cells. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight “Systemic Signaling during Abiotic Stress in Plants” and discuss current knowledge on the role of microbe-mediated mitigation under abiotic stress.

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.
