Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical reaction in the world, and it is the basis for plant biomass and yield formation. Photosynthesis is sensitive to abiotic stresses, the intensitivity and the frequency of which are increasing with the impact of global climate change. Understanding the mechanisms underpinning the response of photosynthesis to abiotic stress is of great important for plant production. The responses of photosynthesis to abiotic stresses have been intensively studied; however, there is still a large knowledge gap in this field. This Special Issue, entitled “Response of Photosynthesis to Abiotic Stresses”, welcomes original research and review articles in the field, with a focus on the physiological, biochemical or molecular mechanisms underlying the impacts of abiotic stresses on photosynthesis. The abiotic stresses include but are not limited to temperature, drought, salinity, nutrient deficiency, light intensity and ambient CO2 concentration.

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. 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.
