Biological Signaling in Plant Development

Dear Colleagues,

Biological signals are essential for plant growth, adaptation, and reproduction. This complex network of signaling pathways involves dynamic interactions between hormones, gene expression, and environmental factors that regulate different stages of plant development from seed germination to flowering. These signals ensure proper plant growth and adaptation to changing environments. Therefore, an understanding of plant biological signaling is essential to elucidate the response mechanisms of cell differentiation, tissue formation, and exogenous stress.

This Special Issue aims to explore the complex signaling networks underlying plant growth and development. It will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field through a curated selection of state-of-the-art research articles, reviews, and expert opinions. We invite contributions that shed light on the intricate mechanisms and new insights into signaling regulation in plant biology.

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.
