Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The second messenger calcium is central to a vast array of signalling pathways in plants. In particular, calcium acts to ensure appropriate recognition of primary stimuli to activate the appropriate plant response. Understanding the mechanisms underpinning calcium signalling is of both academic and agricultural importance. This Special Issue will explore the key concepts and questions of the moment, namely: How calcium are signals generated? How is information encoded through calcium? How is information transmitted through calcium signalling decoded by plant cells? How does calcium regulate responses to primary information from the environment, such a stress, and to endogenous signals such as circadian clock?

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.
