Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the changes in the global climate, plants are facing more and more serious environmental challenges including not only high temperature and extreme weather, but also drought, saline–alkali, flood, insect pests, etc. In response to the environmental variations, plants can perceive these environmental signals, change the redox equilibrium, adjust primary and secondary metabolism, and generate adaptive proteins. The variations in plant growth and physiological activities under environmental stresses have been well studied, and the revelation of molecular mechanisms can greatly promote the understanding of the response processes and adaptive mechanisms of plants to abiotic and biotic stresses caused by global climate changes, as well as accelerating the breeding of stress-resistant varieties.
We welcome the submission of original research, reviews, methods, and perspectives to the Special Issue “Responses of Plant Molecular Physiology to Environments”. The potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular mechanism of plants perceiving signal moleculars and intracellular signal transduction.
- Molecular mechanism of plant growth and development in response to environmental variations.
- Molecular responses of plant physiological activities to abiotic and biotic stresses.
- Biosynthesis mechanism of plant primary and secondary metabolites under different environment conditions.
- Adjusting mechanism of secondary metabolites improving plant tolerance to environmental variations.
- Forming mechanisms of adaptive proteins.

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.
