Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue on “Abiotic Stresses in Plants: From Molecules to Environment (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues/0GR24E915V)”.
It is my great pleasure to invite you to publish your innovative research in this Special Issue, focusing on abiotic stresses in plants. In the modern world, there is an urgent need to broaden our knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in abiotic stress-related responses, to facilitate the development of novel approaches in agriculture, plant-based medicine, forestry, food production, and other fields. My intention is to provide a friendly and open forum for sharing high-quality manuscripts that address every possible aspect of this complex problem. Full research papers, impactful communications, comprehensive systematic reviews, or featured opinions are particularly welcome. The main Special Issue topics are as follows:
- Molecular responses to a variety of ‘classic’ abiotic stresses (drought, temperature-dependent stress, salinity, micro/macronutrient deficiency or excess, etc.);
- Spectral quality of incident light affecting plant development and/or stress responses;
- Nanoparticles as a new type of plant stressor;
- Bioinformatic studies of proteins and/or nucleic acid structures related to abiotic stress responses in plants (docking, molecular dynamics, etc.);
- miRNAs and other noncoding RNAs involved in abiotic stress in plants;
- Novel methods for abiotic stress research in plants;
- Age-dependent abiotic stress in plants;
- Interdisciplinary approaches for abiotic stress research in plants.

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.
