Advances in Nanotechnology for Monitoring and Enhancing Plant Physiological Responses Under Environmental Stress

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue “Advances in Nanotechnology for Monitoring and Enhancing Plant Physiological Responses Under Environmental Stress” is to advance current understanding and applications of nanotechnology to address the challenges posed by environmental stresses in plants. This issue seeks to bring together innovative research that explores nanoscale tools and technologies to monitor plant health, decode stress signaling pathways, and enhance plant resilience under abiotic and biotic stress conditions.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses the following topics:

• The development and application of nanosensors for detecting plant physiological changes under stress.
• Innovative nanomaterials for the targeted delivery of agrochemicals, nutrients, and growth stimulants.
• The exploration of plant–nanoparticle interactions and their implications for stress adaptation.
• Strategies for integrating nanotechnology into precision agriculture to mitigate environmental challenges.
• Studies on the environmental, ecological, and safety aspects of nanotechnology in agricultural systems.

This Special Issue will include original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that demonstrate how nanotechnology can revolutionize plant stress management and contribute to sustainable agriculture

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
