Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chromatin remodeling and epigenetic regulation are currently the most exhaustively studied evolutionary conserved regulatory mechanisms involved in Eukaryota in the control of chromatin status, chromatin structure, higher order chromatin organization, DNA accessibility, etc. Development, signaling pathways, adaptation to the environmental changes, pathogen attack, and other various processes require a precise response at the transcriptomic level resulting in the proper spatiotemporal gene expression. Thus, chromatin remodeling and epigenetic regulation play an important role in the fine-tune regulation of all of these processes, and their impairment may have dramatic consequences at the whole organism as well as molecular levels. Much remains to be discovered as the new precise and high-throughput assays have been developed, enabling far better insight into 3D chromatin structure, genome-wide and loci-specific regulatory events.
This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the function of chromatin remodeling and epigenetic regulation in the development and growth of plants, and in their role in the interactions of plants with their environment. Last but not least, the employment and exploitation of plant models to understand evolutionarily conserved chromatin-related processes/mechanisms in higher Eukaryota will be given a special focus.

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.
