Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As sessile organisms, plants always suffer from environmental stresses. To survive, plants have evolved a diversity of adaptations. With the completion of more and more plant genome sequencing, dissecting the underlying gene functions and the regulatory networks under various stresses, including nutritional deficiency, are becoming the key issues under post-genome Eva. Of these, transcriptomic and proteomic responses of plant to nutritional deficiency are in the spotlight in the plant nutrition field. Like other living organisms, plants require 17 essential macro-and microelements (C, H, O, N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Cl, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ni, and B) for development and growth. In addition, some mineral elements (Na, Si, Al, and Se) are not essential for all plant species but can be beneficial for some groups of plants. The nutritional deficiency of these essential and beneficial mineral elements is one of the critical limiting factors impairing plant growth and causing severe crop yield loss. In this Special Issue, the responses of plants to various nutritional deficiencies of these essential and beneficial elements exploited by transcriptomic and proteomic techniques are within the scope of this issue and welcome.

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.
