Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants constantly face a variety of environmental stresses, both biotic and abiotic, which can significantly impact their growth and productivity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant stress responses is important for developing resilient crops that can thrive under adverse conditions. This Special Issue of Plants aims to explore the latest research on the molecular pathways and regulatory networks involved in plant stress regulation. We invite submissions that provide insights into the roles of key genes, proteins, and metabolites in stress perception, signal transduction, and adaptive responses. Studies employing cutting-edge techniques in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to dissect these complex mechanisms are particularly welcome. By shedding light on the intricate molecular processes that plants use to cope with both biotic and abiotic stresses, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the advancement of sustainable agriculture and food security.

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.
