Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various abiotic stressors greatly reduce the efficiency of intensive agricultural production worldwide. Efforts to mitigate this damage have become the focus of various research studies. In addition to field studies, there is a growing demand for a more detailed understanding of plant biochemical processes and for the precise detection of changes at the gene level to ensure that the necessary interventions are as effective and environmentally friendly as possible.
Modern agriculture places increasing emphasis on preventing (priming), stimulating, and preparing the immune system of healthy plant populations to reduce the damage caused by later stressors. In addition, in many cases, it is also necessary to reduce the symptoms that have already developed.
In our Special Issue, we aim to focus on a deeper, gene-level understanding of the effects of abiotic stressors on plant biochemical processes and on the possibilities of mitigating this damage.
We welcome the submission of all manuscripts that aim to prevent abiotic stresses by using priming techniques (biostimulants), help alleviate existing damage (plant conditioning compounds), and that address gene-level analyses in their methodology. We welcome studies that focus on individual genes or even those that include genome-wide transcriptional and also bioinformatical analyses.
Mr. Mostafa Ahmed Abdalmageed is the Guest Editor Assistant, who will help manage this Special Issue.

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.
