Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, driven by reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a dual role in plant stress responses, acting as both a damaging agent and a key signaling molecule. This Special Issue explores the intricate mechanisms of ROS signaling in plant stress adaptation, focusing on how plants maintain redox homeostasis under diverse stressors, including biotic, abiotic, soil-borne, and air pollutants. A comparative analysis of halophyte vs. glycophyte species or tolerant and sensitive plant species will shed light on evolutionary adaptations to oxidative stress, while molecular crosstalk with ROS signaling will highlight interactions between hormonal, metabolic, and genetic pathways. We invite contributions investigating stress-induced adaptive responses, antioxidant defense systems, and the role of ROS in cellular communication. Studies employing advanced omics, imaging, and redox biology techniques are particularly encouraged. Further studies related to exogenous applications of plant growth regulators and hormones in the context of oxidative stress tolerance in plants are also welcome. By bridging physiological, biochemical, and molecular perspectives, this issue aims to uncover novel strategies for enhancing crop resilience in changing environments. Researchers are invited to submit original research, reviews, and methodological advances that deepen our understanding of oxidative stress in plant systems, offering potential applications in sustainable agriculture and environmental stress mitigation.

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. Antioxidants 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 2900 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.
