Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is well established as a fast, non-destructive and reliable analysis tool in a wide variety of research areas. Among these areas, plant science and, particularly, the study of plant bioactive compounds have proven to be suitable for the application of HSI. The continuous technological advances in hyperspectral sensors, measurement geometries, and portable capacity, jointly with the new chemometric research for data reduction and sorting, make possible the development of novel applications of HSI at two different levels: (1) First, at the feasibility study level. For example, the use of new hyperspectral technologies and/or chemometric approaches to propose and evaluate innovative applications of HSI in the investigation of plant bioactive compounds. (2) Second, at the consolidated research level—for example, the use of these technological and chemometric advances to propose hyperspectral quality control methods suitable to be applied at a final stage (industrial or agricultural).
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collect research papers where new HSI and chemometric approaches are applied to the control of plant bioactive compounds. Novel research papers will be considered if the aforementioned topics are employed to develop new applications and to evaluate their feasibility for being implemented in the industrial and agricultural sectors. In addition, research studies using HSI and chemometrics to obtain more consolidated quality control methods suitable for direct application in the industrial and agricultural sectors will also be welcome.

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.
