Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of new and powerful analytical techniques enables the obtention of a series of broad and deep compilations of plant metabolomics data. This information, generated throughout different plant development stages, in conjunction with the respective molecular and fluxomics knowledge, forms the basis for the rational analysis of the plant metabolism. Accordingly, the identification of metabolic pathways leads to the synthesis and accumulation of metabolites of interest, the regulation of previously identified metabolic pathways, the improvement of our comprehension of plant metabolic flexibility, and, finally, the translation of this improvement into new biotechnology strategies.
This Special Issue, “Metabolomics and Flux Analysis in Plants II”, is not only restricted to the development of new methods in plant metabolomics, lipidomics, or fluxomics, but is also extended to the study of specific plants whose metabolic analysis will contribute to the unravelling of the complex plant 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.
