Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants’ wide-ranging metabolic diversity reflects the physiological context facing cells and tissues, and whole organisms. As both sessile and autotrophic organisms, plants have developed a sophisticated branched metabolic pathway, resulting in rich chemical production referred as chemodiversity. This vast chemical arsenal is used in plant defense, ecological interaction or for bioeconomical purposes, and has numerous useful applications.
For our Special Issue, “New Insights in Plant Metabolism and Chemodiversity”, we are seeking submissions of cutting-edge research articles highlighting the functionality of chemodiversity in plants in an environmental, stress or even biotechnological context. Works addressing how plants modulate their chemodiversity in response to biotic and abiotic factors, and which techniques and approaches are promising for understanding these relationships and unlocking plant biodiversity, are of particular interest.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to): plant omics, molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, and evolution in plants’ primary and specialized (secondary) metabolism.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
