Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans depend on plants to provide them with food, medicine, and clothing. Being curious about plants allows for unbiased observations to take place to understand the general principles that they perform to provide the substances that humans need. Over the past decade, great advances in research into plants have been achieved, covering every aspect of plant growth and development, beginning from seed germination to the senescence of the plant body. For agricultural plants, such as rice, wheat, maize, rapeseed, soybean, cotton, fruits and vegetables, understanding the molecular mechanisms for the formation of the yield, quality, and resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses is important to improve those traits of agronomical importance. Meanwhile, for model plants, important clues have been found to help us understand the basic biological mechanisms underlying plant growth, development, senescence, and adapting to stresses.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the timely collection of the most recent advances made in molecular plant sciences and provide readers with a panoramic view of these advances. Review papers covering the topics related to molecular plant sciences are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
