Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants live in environments that rarely provide ideal conditions for their growth and development. Each deviation from the optimal conditions for their growth and development is treated as a stress factor for the plant, the effects of which can be minimized by using appropriate adaptation strategies. The changing climate and progressive environmental pollution resulting from the expansion of industry and transport have prompted plants to develop several adaptation strategies to enable survival and development in this hostile environment. The presence of environmental stresses forced changes at the morphological, physiological and molecular levels. Adaptation to abiotic stresses, such as changes in temperature, water availability, salinity, the presence of heavy metals, as well as biotic stresses, is crucial not only for crops but also for the preservation of biodiversity.
We invite all authors to prepare review or original papers to improve the knowledge surrounding this topic.

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. 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.
