Plants | An Open Access Journal from MDPI Plants is an international, scientific, peer-reviewed, open access journal on plant science published semimonthly online by MDPI
Plants | Special Issues - MDPI Plants publishes Special Issues to create collections of papers on specific topics, with the aim of building a community of authors and readers to discuss the latest research and develop new ideas and research directions
An Integrated Framework for Drought Stress in Plants - MDPI With global warming, drought stress is becoming increasingly severe, causing serious impacts on crop yield and quality In order to survive under adverse conditions such as drought stress, plants have evolved a certain mechanism to cope
Plants | 2024 - Browse Issues - MDPI Plants, an international, peer-reviewed Open Access journal Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world
Plants’ Response Mechanisms to Salinity Stress - MDPI To counteract the effects of salt stress, plants have developed various mechanisms, including modulating ion homeostasis, ion compartmentalization and export, and the biosynthesis of osmoprotectants
Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral Activity, and Mechanisms of Action . . . Plants serve as a valuable source of new antimicrobials, and their secondary compounds, such as polyphenols, exhibit potent antimicrobial properties even at low concentrations Polyphenols are derived from phenol, which consists of an aromatic ring and a hydroxyl group
Plants’ Epigenetic Mechanisms and Abiotic Stress - MDPI Plants are sessile organisms that need to adapt to constantly changing environmental conditions Unpredictable climate change places plants under a variety of abiotic stresses Studying the regulation of stress-responsive genes can help to understand plants’ ability to adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions
The Utilization and Roles of Nitrogen in Plants - MDPI A thorough understanding of N uptake, utilization and interaction with other biological processes is helpful to improve N use efficiency and to breed plants with “less-input-more-output”
