Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the structural diversity of metabolites produced by plants and their application for human benefit are essential for the advancement of our area of knowledge. Natural product chemistry is an interdisciplinary research field of broad scope that ranges from the analytical characterization and isolation of interesting molecules to studies on their biosynthetic pathways and biological activities. Metabolomic approaches lead to a more detailed understanding of the plant metabolic profile and consequently contribute to the identification of new products.
This Special Issue focuses on the current research on all aspects of natural product chemistry and metabolomics. Original research papers and reviews on a wide range of topics that aim to increase our knowledge of the chemistry of plants are 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.
