Crop Physiology and Stress
This special issue belongs to the section “Plant-Crop Biology and Biochemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture faces challenges such as environmental change and an increasing world population. The increase in the quantity and quality of agricultural products is of great interest. This requires adequate growth and development of the plant and proper crop management. There are several lines of research aimed at studying the physiology of plants and crops. This Collection aims to include the main lines of study that are being developed considering the optimal and stress scenarios that are affecting crops.
This Topical Collection will focus on “Crop Physiology”. We welcome novel research and reviews covering all topics related, but not limited, to environment–plant interaction, stress physiology, plant–microbe interaction, adaptation of plants to the environment, plants’ response to stress, and production and stress.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
