Advance in Plant Photobiology

Dear Colleagues,

Plant photobiology is the study of plants’ perception, signal transduction, and response to light. Light is an important factor in plant growth and development. Plants regulate their own growth and development by sensing light signals to adapt to changes in the environment. At present, the research on plant photobiology mainly focuses on the following aspects:

• The mechanism of photosynthesis;
• Light signal transduction pathways;
• The photoperiod phenomenon of plants;
• The adaptability of plants to different light environments;
• The interaction between photosynthesis and the environment.

These research fields provide an important theoretical basis and technical means for the development of plant photobiology, help us better understand the growth and development of plants, and provide theoretical and practical support for the improvement of agricultural production and the ecological environment. This Special Issue welcomes articles, reviews, and communications focusing on the latest research progress in plant photobiology.

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.
