Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last six decades, research has shown that abiotic stresses can negatively impact plant growth and development and reduce crop production by up to 70%. Global climate changes have compounded the effect of these stresses on crop productivity. Some plants are more tolerant to ‘stress’ while others are susceptible. Understanding the complexity of both molecular and physiological factors that contribute to stress tolerance in crops is essential for maintaining productivity for food, fibre, and fuel. The Special Issue, “Molecular and Physiological Basis of Abiotic Stress Tolerance,” will focus on the recent advancements in the role of ion channels, transporters, and signaling molecules and their contribution to tolerance to stresses such as salinity, drought, extreme heat and acid soils. We invite research articles and communications providing insights into different abiotic stresses.

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.
