Green Agriculture: Sustainable Solutions for Crop Performance and Plant Growth

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue, entitled "Green Agriculture: Sustainable Solutions for Crop Performance and Plant Growth," aims to bring together original studies and reviews that address how plant physiological knowledge can contribute to improving the sustainability of agricultural systems, both in field crops and in horticultural and fruit production. Plant physiology, understood as the basis for understanding the processes that regulate plant growth, development, and functioning, is key to designing management and improvement strategies that optimize the use of resources such as water, nutrients, and energy, reduce dependence on chemical inputs, and promote more efficient, productive, and resilient crops in the face of changing environmental conditions. This Issue seeks to highlight scientific advances in areas such as photosynthesis, water and nutrient use efficiency, hormonal regulation, root development, leaf senescence, solute transport, and plant–environment interactions, as well as applied approaches that integrate this knowledge into sustainable agricultural practices. We invite researchers from various disciplines to contribute work that promotes more efficient, environmentally friendly agriculture aligned with long-term sustainability principles.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
