Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As sessile organisms, plants must cope with different environmental stresses in their life span, including drought, flooded condition, hypoxia, salt, heavy metal, metalloid, nutrition deficiency, ultraviolet radiation, high light, high or low temperature, as well as the interaction or combination of different stresses. In the last two decades, great progress have been made regarding the genetic mechanisms of plant responses to environmental stresses, involved in the different aspects like stress sensing and signaling, transcription regulation and processing, as well as translation and post-translational protein modifications. This has enabled research on more genetic engineering strategies and methods to increase plant resilience to environmental stress.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite submissions of high-quality original research or review articles on topics related to genetic and genomic studies of plant responses to various environmental stresses.

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. Genes 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.
