Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing global food insecurity has already started, in large part due to climate change that has contributed to increased biotic and abiotic stress posing a great threat to wheat production over the globe. Thus, the production of wheat crops varies by country and region where fungal diseases hinder the potential grain yield performance to a huge extent. In addition, climate change contributes to increased abiotic stress that encompasses higher temperatures, water scarcity, droughts, floods, and greater CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Biotic and abiotic stresses affect wheat development and trigger different morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes.
This Special Issue aims to bring the latest achievements on stresses in wheat plants, including the physiology of stress resistance, resistance mechanisms, and host‒pathogen interactions. Original research, reviews, and opinions on recent advances in strategies for the control of stress in plants are also welcome.
Dr. Valentina Španič

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
