Crop and Vegetable Physiology under Environmental Stresses

Dear Colleagues,

Abiotic stresses induced by climate change and global warming have a negative impact on crop development, growth and ultimately production. The production of crops and vegetables, especially at the reproductive stage, is sensitive to abiotic stresses. More importantly, several stress conditions usually occur co-currently. The response of plants to combined stress cannot be assumed from their response to individual stress, therefore, it is urgent to improve their climate resilience, especially drought and heat tolerance, and clarify the tolerance mechanisms. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect important results and finding on plants’ responses to environmental stress, especially from the perspectives of plant physiology, metabolism and genetic regulation. We welcome submissions of cutting-edge knowledge on the effects of multiple stress to crops and vegetables.

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. 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.
