Dear Colleagues,
We are open for submissions to an upcoming Special Issue of Plants, titled “Improving the Nutritional Content and Quality of Crops: Promises, Achievements, and Future Challenges”.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide array of topics, including crop nutritional management, hormonal management, plant biotechnology, plant breeding, and plant stress mitigation, with a focus on improving the nutritional content and quality of crops.
