Structure and Function of Plant Cell Wall
This special issue belongs to the section "Plant Development and Morphogenesis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant cell wall research touches on a very wide variety of processes in plants, such as development, environmental response, and defense. Increasing knowledge of the plant cell wall has revealed opportunities for the development of innovative food products and efficient biomass conversion technology.
Recent advances in molecular technology and bioinformatics have provided further insights into the role of the plant cell wall in various plant processes. In this Special Issue of Plants, research articles are welcome that provide exciting discoveries on the structure and function of the plant cell wall. Additionally, we expect that researchers from different fields of plant science will contribute research articles concerning any of the cell wall-related aspects, so that we can deepen our understanding of many aspects of the plant cell wall.
This Special Issue is also open to plant cell wall research articles covering biochemistry, physiology, molecular genetics, cell biology, omics, and bioinformatics technologies.

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-anonymized 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.
