Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics is one of the youngest postgenomic sciences and is a rapidly developing field of knowledge. This Special Issue is intended to reveal the theme of the plant metabolome as a link between the genotype, phenotype and environmental factors. Here, we consider the latest advances in metabolomics and their applications to understanding the biology of plant adaptations to stress factors and determining the mechanisms of bacterial and fungal symbiosis with plants. Works devoted to the identification of metabolites in newly discovered and described species of plant organisms are welcome. We discuss future directions and challenges associated with using metabolomics-oriented approaches to understand the metabolic diversity of plants.
Metabolites play a central role in maintaining the life of an organism and in determining crop phenotypes such as nutritional value, flavor, color, and stress tolerance. Thus, in addition to fundamental data on the physiological and biochemical processes of the development of a plant organism, this Special Issue is open to applied publications in the field of agriculture.
In addition to screening studies, this Special Issue covers the mechanisms of regulation and pathways for the synthesis of metabolites, the factors affecting them, and the role of individual substances at various stages of plant formation.

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.
