Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grains are the most significant food source for human dietary energy globally. Grains, such as wheat, rice, corn, oat, sorghum, millet, rye, barley, etc., provide essential nutrients and minerals, and play a very important role in human life and the livestock sector. The demand for grain production is rising continuously with increasing population. Grain growth and yield are affected by various production environments of which abiotic and biotic stresses are the most limiting factors. Solutions to increase grain crop tolerance and minimize the effects of adverse environments on grain growth and yield have been actively sought. In recent decades, the sprout of novel biochemical and molecular technologies provide new approaches to progressively improve grain growth and yield upon different production environments. In this Special Issue, the most recent accomlishments on molecular and genetic optimization of grains for increasing grain production in response to different abiotic and biotic environmental stresses will be provided.

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.
