Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the intensification of global climate change, plants have been increasingly exposed to severe environmental stresses. Non-biological stresses—such as drought, salinity, heavy metal pollution, low temperature, high temperature—and biological stresses—encompassing pests and diseases—have significantly impacted plant growth and yield. To better understand their effects on plants and develop effective mitigation strategies, it is particularly important to delve into the study of plant resistance mechanisms.
We encourage you to submit your latest research findings on how plants perceive and respond to environmental stresses, especially those involving new stress resistance mechanisms, resistance regulation, and genetic basis. Additionally, we welcome discussions on how to utilize this knowledge to improve crop stress tolerance and enhance agricultural production efficiency.
We look forward to your contributions in advancing the development of plant stress mechanisms and utilization.
Prof. Dr. Aoxue Wang
Guest Editor
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. Biology 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 2700 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.
