Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has become impossible to ignore in recent years. Climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather conditions and accelerates the adverse effects of environmental stresses. Plants are continuously exposed to these environmental stresses, especially abiotic stresses, such as drought, heat, salt, cold, etc. Therefore, plants exhibit a variety of responses to tolerate and survive adverse conditions and adapt to abiotic stresses by employing stress-sensing mechanisms and by activating signal transduction and the expression of stress-related genes. The adaptive responses to different stresses are interconnected via multiple stress perception and signaling pathways that exhibit crosstalk at various steps. In addition, phytohormones play a major role in stress adaptation pathways. Thus, further understanding the regulation mechanisms of plant response and adaptation to environmental stresses can provide new insights to develop better adapted plants in response to various environmental stresses.
This Special Issue will cover various signaling pathways and response mechanisms in molecular levels to adapt to environmental stresses in plants.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
