Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The metabolism of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) has acquired outstanding relevance in higher plant physiology due to its broad implications in the metabolism of higher plants. Previously, some of these ROS/RNS were considered toxic because they could cause nitro-oxidative damage; however, this concept has evolved since they also exert signaling functions among themselves and with other regulators (phytohormones, melatonin, hydrogen sulfide, etc.) involved in many physiology processes ranging from seed germination to fruit ripening. Likewise, ROS and RNS are also involved in the mechanisms of response against biotic and abiotic stresses.
This 2nd edition of the Special Issue entitled “Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in Plants” desires to extend the relevance of these families of molecules related to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) which other molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and melatonin that have been shown to have close relationships. Therefore, all manuscripts that provide new insights in this area of research are welcome, including original research and reviews, as well as new hypotheses.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
