Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant secondary metabolites encompass a diverse group of molecules that play a critical role, yet they are not directly involved in plant growth, development, or stress response. Accurate and reliable analysis of the secondary metabolites would enhance our comprehension of their physiological status and deepen our understanding of specific biochemical processes in plants. Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has emerged as a powerful and essential technique for metabolomics analysis. Advancements in LC-MS/MS have facilitated the simultaneous measurement of numerous metabolites. Nevertheless, obtaining high-quality metabolomics datasets as well as effectively integrating and interpreting the data still present challenges.
In this Special Issue on "LC-MS/MS Analysis for Plant Secondary Metabolites”, we aim to showcase the wide range of research and applications of LC-MS/MS analysis in the field of plant secondary metabolites. We invite submissions covering various aspects of LC-MS/MS analysis, including applications, method and instrumentation development, and advancements in bioinformatic methodology. Original research papers as well as review articles are welcomed for submission.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
