Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology is a relatively novel field of science and technology. The application of nanomaterials is one of the newest strategies to improve the growth, development, and yield of plants under physiological and stressful conditions. Studies have indicated that nanoparticles can be absorbed, transported, and accumulated by plants and their influence depends on their chemical composition and surface characteristics. The elucidation of mechanisms of action of different nanomaterials on various plant species will enable plants to be created with better functions and resistance to adverse climatic conditions. This Special Issue aims to show the mechanisms of action of different types of nanomaterials on the plants.

Prof. Dr. Emilia Apostolova

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.
