Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-throughput omics technologies have revolutionized the way science is performed, by generating a large amount of biological data for a broader coverage and better understanding of biological mechanisms. The integration of these -omics technologies (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, ionomics, and redoxomics) is currently in the forefront of plant research. As sessile organisms, plants are constantly challenged by environmental stress conditions and resort to adaptative responses to ensure survival and reproductive success. These environmental stress conditions include abiotic and biotic stress factors that often occur simultaneously in field conditions. A multi-omics approach allows understanding the biochemical mechanisms that underlie plant resistance and response to adverse environmental conditions, from genotype to phenotype. This includes the integration of multi-omics data into biological networks for the identification of stress responsive traits that can be further applied toward plant breeding, and more productive and climate-resilient crop varieties.
This Special Issue is dedicated to 0omics approaches using state-of-the-art high-throughput equipment to explore plant responses to environmental stress conditions. In an environment that is rapidly changing, particularly in the current climate change scenario, manuscripts dedicated to improving our understanding of plant responses to single or combined environmental stress are welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
