Genes Function and Mechanism Identification in Plant Stress Resistance 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

Global warming and its exacerbation of extreme weather events has increased the prevalence of factors that affect the development of plants. These include droughts, high temperatures and low temperatures, which have become the common forms of abiotic stress in the development of plants, particularly in areas that produce crops such as cotton. Creating plant germplasms that are resistant to such forms of abiotic stress is urgently required.

This Special Issue will address a selection of recent research topics and current review articles in the field of exploiting, cloning and verifying novel genes related to plant stress resistance, and will also consider the factors of drought, high temperature and low temperature, among others. Bioinformatics papers, up-to-date review articles and commentaries are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
