Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In eukaryotes, oxygenic photosynthesis and mitochondrial respiration work together to maintain a sharp equilibrium. Research over recent decades has allowed us to understand conserved mechanisms among species, which laid the foundation for several biotechnological advances. Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of knowledge during recent years has brought to light that different evolutionary lineages have adapted their bioenergetics, giving rise to remarkable physiological and metabolic peculiarities among species, including several structural modifications.
To understand how these species may be useful for humankind, it is necessary to elucidate their metabolic routes, enzymatic components, supramolecular associations, molecular mechanisms, structural features, and related processes in order to consolidate our knowledge about these fantastic organisms.
In this forthcoming Special Issue, we aim to consolidate recent advances in both fundamental and applied research focused on understanding the mechanisms behind the two major bioenergetics processes that sustain life on Earth.
Please be welcome,
Dr. Héctor V. Miranda-Astudillo

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
