Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Legume plants are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions, especially with the scary climate change scenarios. To cope with abiotic constraints, legumes evolved numerous sophisticated strategies at both morphological and physiological levels. Much progress has been made in understanding how environmental stresses have affected legume performance in recent years. With the advances in physiological methodology and molecular biotechnology, diverse arrays of biochemical, physiological, and molecular mechanisms underlying those adaptive strategies have been well studied in a broad range of plants, both model and crop species. Despite this, various plant response and adaptation facets still need adequate attention. A highlighted awareness of such knowledge remains a critical element of designing strategies to enhance the productivity of legume crops through genetic engineering for higher performance. In this Special Issue, original research papers and reviews describing the current state of knowledge of research in the acclimation of legumes to abiotic stresses are welcome.

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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
