Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stress causes organisms to modify their structure and their molecular equipment to adapt to the environment. Besides phenotypical changes, environmental stress can also increase the fitness of well-adapted individuals and consequently change the population’s genetic pool. One of the main defenses used by organisms to resist several types of stress at the cellular level is autophagy, since this general process is necessary to recover damaged biomolecules and entire organelles.
Environmental stress induces particularly evident autophagic effects in plants, but the focus of this Special Issue is other groups of eukaryotes.

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. Cells 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.
