Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Insects are the most diverse animals on Earth. More than one million species of insects have been discovered, and the actual number of insects that exist in nature is much higher. Insects have a great effect on nature. Many insects have beneficial roles as pollinators or consumers of waste, such as honey bees, while others are pests that threaten agriculture or are regarded as vectors of disease. Understanding the molecular mechanism of insect response to abiotic and biotic stress has great significance for protecting the beneficial insects and exterminating pests.
This Special Issue will thus be focused on the molecular mechanism of insect response to abiotic (such as UV, temperature, heavy metal, pesticide, etc.) and biotic stress. Special attention will be paid to how to reduce the threat of pesticides to beneficial insects and how to reduce the resistance of pests. More attention will also be paid to the impact of new materials such as microplastics and nanomaterials on insects.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
