Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox homeostasis are central to the physiological and ecological adaptability of algae. From stress tolerance and developmental control to signaling in cellular differentiation and metabolic regulation, redox processes play multifaceted roles in algal biology.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research exploring the mechanisms of redox regulation in algae, including the roles of NADPH oxidases, antioxidants, and redox-sensitive transcription factors. We welcome studies spanning molecular biology, omics-based approaches, environmental responses, and biotechnological applications. Emphasis will be placed on how redox signaling mediates stress responses, developmental transitions, and algal interactions with their environment. Contributions that bridge redox biology with algal evolution, aquaculture, or bioengineering are also encouraged.
This collection seeks to advance our understanding of redox-mediated processes and stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue across algal physiology, ecology, and applied phycology.

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.
