Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, natural and synthetic chemical substances, and wounding, have deep influences on trees. Plants have evolved with a complex adaptation system to react dynamically to environmental conditions, allowing them to adapt to abiotic stresses at the molecular, cellular, and entire plant levels. Rare trees mostly have narrow distribution and adapt to special abiotic stress environments, resulting in important genetic variances and genes response. Additionally, some rare trees provide important metabolites under abiotic stress, such as agarwood. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms of rare trees in response to abiotic stress has greatly increased with the advances in molecular biology technologies. In this Special Issue, we encourage researchers to submit their work as research papers or review articles in the following areas:
- Transcriptomics, transcription factors, hormone biosynthesis, and signal transduction in response to abiotic stress in rare trees;
- Gene and essential metabolic pathways involved in the response to abiotic stress and crosstalk between abiotic stresses’ regulation;
- Role of ncRNAs and miRNA in rare tree development and stress responses and signaling;
- Genome, genetic variances, molecular characterization of rare trees (population of rare trees) under 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.
