Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soybean is the most economically important legume in the world, providing vegetable protein and ingredients for human and animal consumption.
Adversity stresses such as temperature extremes, drought, floods, salinity, nutrient deficiencies, and toxicities limit soybean yields. Most land is exposed to stressful conditions. Because of climate change, the frequency and intensity of such environmental stresses are expected to increase, already causing substantial losses in crop production.
Diseases and pests also suppress soybean yield around the world. Many resistance genes and quantitative trait loci have been identified against major pathogens and pests, some of which were introgressed into new resistant varieties. The rapid evolution of such pathogens and pests emphasizes the importance of persistent efforts to identify new resistance germplasm and genes.
This Special Issue will therefore focus on the latest advances in the understanding of resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Submissions of review or original research articles covering, but not limited to, the following themes are welcome:
- Precise, accurate, and digitalized phenotypic measurement of responses to adversity and biotic stresses;
- Genetic dissection of tolerance to adversity and disease resistance;
- Genomic prediction for responses to adverse environments and quantitative disease resistance;
- Multi-omics-driven studies focusing on adversity and disease resistance;
- Other related subjects.

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.
