Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current changing environmental condition influences agricultural crops' growth, productivity, and quality. With the current face of changing environmental conditions, whose pace may exceed the plant's capacity to adapt by natural force alone. We must be ready with advanced breeding and biotechnological tools to face these conditions. To do so, we need to understand the molecular mechanism of environmental signal-regulated plant growth regulation and control to develop knowledge-based approaches to mitigate these challenges.
However, the environmental signals regulated molecular mechanisms of growth and adaptation are largely unknown in crops. This Special Issue will focus on recent works on environmental signals and hormone-regulated growth and adaptation and their effect on productivity in annuals and perennials. We welcome both research articles and reviews.

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.
