Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over time, plants have evolved to adapt to the environment. Plant hormones are synthesized via different metabolic routes as part of the secondary metabolism and are small molecules. The classical phytohormones are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, ethylene, and brassinosteroids. In the last few years, compounds such as jasmonates and strigolactones have been added to the list because they function as plant hormones. Plant hormones allow plants to develop in different environments because they regulate many cellular and developmental processes.
Food production from agricultural activity has been affected by the desertification of large cultivation areas, water availability, increased soil salinity, and climate change. As a result, studies about the role of phytohormones in the plant response to abiotic stress have advanced significantly in recent years. This Special Issue plans to provide an overview of the most recent advances in the mechanisms and processes regulated by plant hormones in plants under abiotic stress.

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.
