Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the abiotic stress response in plants has become increasingly important in plant biology, especially in light of the current environmental changes affecting our planet. Research aimed at understanding how plants respond to various stress factors, including drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and oxidative stress, among others, is crucial for supporting the adaptation and survival of the plant kingdom. This Special Issue accepts submissions of full or short reviews and research articles focused on the identification of genes involved in diverse responses to abiotic stress, including their molecular and functional characterization in different plant species.

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.
