Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, proteomics is one of the most useful tools available to understand protein behavior, protein post-translational modifications, and protein–protein interactions of plant. Due to the diversity of plants, not all of their genomes have been decoded. However, advances in genome sequencing technology have made it easier to obtain sequence information.
The integration of high-throughput omics-based techniques such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has revealed molecular and biochemical changes at the cellular level, enabling a comprehensive understanding of plant physiology. This holistic approach reveals changes in gene expression, protein modifications, and metabolites, providing deeper insights into nutrient assimilation, stress responses, and signaling pathways. Moreover, such integrated analysis can elucidate dual mechanisms as potential stressors and as promoters of specific physiological processes such as germination, growth, defense, and nutrient assimilation. Bioinformatics and systems biology tools are essential to interpret the vast datasets generated by multi-omics approaches.
This Special Issue of Proteomes welcomes submissions of original research or review articles aiming at deciphering physiological processes with the use of proteomics tools. Contributions will deal with the dynamics of proteins in their native and modified forms, with the combination of several “omics” approaches in contrasted physiological situations as well as with technical advances in the proteomic field.

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. Proteomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
