Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule involved in a variety of physiological processes during plant growth and development and an important regulator of stress response. Extensive research in the last two decades has shown that NO is involved in seed germination, leaf expansion, root growth, stomatal closure, fruit maturation, senescence, and flowering. NO is a signaling molecule with multiple different regulatory functions in plant physiology and is one of the major players in plant signaling networks. In addition to its direct effects on metabolic enzymes and signaling proteins, NO can fulfill its signaling function via modification of the transcription machinery and chromatin structure.
In this Special Issue of Plants, recent advances in the study of NO biology and biochemistry in plants will be presented, providing an overview of current understanding of the NO actions involved in plant growth and development. This includes NO-dependent signaling, molecular adjustments, and targets as key elements in plant physiology. Additionally, the interaction between stress response and growth and development and the crosstalk between signaling pathways of NO and phytohormones will be highlighted.

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.
