Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants show dynamic responses to adapt to abiotic stresses at the biochemical, physiological and molecular levels, thus enabling them to survive under variable abiotic stress conditions. Today, there is an urgent need to broaden our knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in abiotic-stress-related responses to facilitate the development of novel approaches in agriculture, plant-based medicine, forestry, food production and other fields.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions concerning the regulatory mechanism and network of abiotic stress responses in plants, including reviews and original research articles. We seek publications in the field of water deficit, salinity, nutrient deficiency and excess, heavy metals, alkalinity, waterlogging, soil erosion, acidification and other edaphic factors. Submitted papers must demonstrate clear abiotic stress signaling aspects at the molecular level, which should be reflected not only in the Results section but also in the Discussion section. We especially encourage the submission of manuscripts from the dynamically developing discipline of molecular biology, namely interactomics describing molecular interactions between molecules belonging to different biochemical groups (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates) and within a given group.
We also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the related Special Issue which we focus on "Molecular Advance in Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants: Focus on Edaphic Stressors".

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
