Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of intensifying climate change, plants serve as the first line of defense, and hence, it is crucial to study their immune mechanisms. The precision of omics technologies has markedly improved over the past several decades, providing a robust tool for investigating the multidimensional changes produced in plants under stress. Moreover, understanding the molecular functions involved in plant immunity can aid in human interventions designed to enhance plant resilience to short-term threats. The employment of bioengineering techniques can also improve plants' capabilities to cope with climate change. Therefore, we posit that utilizing omics technologies to delve into the pathways of plant immunity is of paramount importance in the human response to climate change.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
