State of the Art in Plant Science

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Topical Collection entitled “State of the Art in Plant Science”. This Topical Collection publishes original research and timely review articles on all aspects of plant science. The Topical Collection aims to increase our knowledge of plant molecular biology, plant physiology and eco-physiology, plant pathology, plant phylogeny, and interactions with both the abiotic and biotic environments.
