Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants are sessile organisms and might be exposed to sub-optimal biotic and abiotic growing conditions during their life cycles. Therefore, terrestrial plants make morphological, physiological and molecular adjustments to avoid or tolerate stress conditions.
Therefore, this Special Issue in Agriculture targets the collection of recent innovations in the field of plants’ (crops or model species) response to abiotic (drought, flooding, nutrient toxicity or deficiency, salinity, heat or cold) and biotic stress (microbes, herbivores, weeds).
The Special Issue targets (is not limited to) the following areas:
- genetic mapping (linkage or association mapping) to identify the genetic loci and genes associated with the stress response;
- the evaluation of mutant lines (genome editing, ectopic expression, physical or chemical mutagenesis) under stress conditions;
- the morphological or physiological evaluation of breeding lines or diverse germplasms under different growing environments and stress scenarios;
- meta-analysis using genomics data (transcriptome profiling, genomic prediction, comparative genomics) related to the stress response.
Therefore, we encourage original research articles and review papers covering the above-mentioned topics.

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. Agriculture 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
