Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proposed Special Issue on “Metabolic Responses to Environmental Stresses in Plants” will present the current research findings, techniques, and novel approaches used to understand environmental stresses in plants using metabolic responses. Metabolomics has emerged as an integral part of the systems biology approach and other -omics platforms to explore different aspects of the molecular and physiological changes caused by environmental stresses in plants. There is limited knowledge on the system-level differences among the metabolites induced in response to stresses such as temperature, water, salt, heavy metals, or a combination of multiple stresses. Recent advances in analytical and -omics technologies have allowed the rapid simultaneous detection of thousands of metabolites and exploring the underlying stress-induced molecular pathways. We welcome studies that use cutting-edge tools to better understand stress-induced responses using the classic metabolite signatures such as proline, branched-chain amino acids, γ-amino butyrate, polyamines, or sugars under stress conditions. We are also inviting you to share studies that expand our understanding of stress-induced metabolites by exploring the species-level responses, natural genetic variation, specific production practices, synergistic/antagonistic effects during multiple stresses and developmental changes. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts in this Special Issue.
Dr. Vijay Joshi

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. Horticulturae is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
