Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change poses significant challenges to viticulture, affecting grapevine growth, yield, and fruit quality. Grapevines encounter abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, and elevated CO2 levels, which disrupt their molecular, biochemical, and physiological functions. As Guest Editors of this Special Issue, “Climate Change Mitigation Strategies in Grapevine Molecular, Biochemical, and Physiological Performance”, we invite submissions that explore innovative adaptive strategies to counter these challenges. We welcome original research, reviews, methodologies, and mini-reviews that investigate genetic and metabolic adaptations, stress-responsive signalling pathways, and biotechnological advancements in grapevine. In addition, studies focusing on the role of antioxidants, secondary metabolites, and genetic responses in stress tolerance are encouraged. By integrating omics technologies with physiological and agronomic assessments, this issue aims to provide comprehensive insights into sustainable viticulture practices under evolving climatic conditions. We look forward to your valuable contributions that will advance our understanding of grapevine resilience and promote sustainable viticulture worldwide.
Dr. Sandra Pereira
Guest Editor
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.
