Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has long been established that the rate of global warming is accelerating, and that this leads to various forms of abiotic stress, including heat, drought, salt and even cold. Due to their sessile nature, crop plants inevitably encounter these adverse environmental conditions, which damage their growth and quality. In addition, the demand for yield and quality has substantially increased due to population growth and improvements in people’s lifestyle. It is therefore urgent to simultaneously achieve a high crop yield and produce crops of excellent quality. There is a dearth of research on the yield–quality synergy, obscuring valuable data in this regard.
The Special Issue is lead by Dr. Baohua Feng, Longxing Tao and Tingting Chen; and assisting by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Tao Wu (Jilin University). This Special Issue of IJMS is organized in order to study this mechanism. We aim to reveal the mechanism of crop yield–quality synergy under the abiotic stresses caused by global warming, which could provide new insights for crop breeding. Authors worldwide are invited to submit original research and review articles on topics related to the crop yield–quality synergy under abiotic stress.

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.

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.
