CALL FOR ARTICLES – Gasotransmitters in plant development and stress acclimation: recent avenues in their research
The role of NO, H2S and CO on plant developmental processes has recently emerged. They regulate seed germination, nodule formation and nitrogen fixation, reactive oxygen species, Ca and hormone signalling, and their subsequent impact on plant development under stress and non-stress conditions. This special issue aims to compile emerging and
Continue readingCall for Articles – The A to Z of AUXIN in plant development
Auxin is a crucial plant hormone that plays a fundamental role in various aspects of growth and development. Discovered in the 1920s, auxin has been extensively studied since then to understand its regulatory roles in numerous physiological processes, including cell elongation, root formation, apical dominance, and tropic responses to environmental
Continue readingCall for articles – Polar, alpine and mountain plants in climate change
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 2024 Extreme latitudes, like those of Arctic and Antarctic areas, share several features with mountain habitats, like short growing seasons with seasonally high solar irradiation, mostly cool temperatures and rugged terrains. Relatively rich flora can still be found especially in some of the Arctic and mountain regions
Continue readingCALL FOR ARTICLES – Light on Flowering: the role of light spectrum in regulating flowering in horticultural crops
!! NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 28 February 2025 Horticultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, medicinal herbs, and aromatic spices, are pivotal in addressing diverse agricultural needs. Recent advances in understanding how different light spectra influence flowering in horticultural crops, especially with LED technology, have created new research opportunities, especially

Climate change, energy use and food security are the main challenges that our society is facing nowadays. The impact of carbon dioxide on the Earth´s climate forces us to investigate possibilities for using sustainable energy resources. One potential approach to address this problem is to recycle carbon dioxide to fuel- or

Physiologia Plantarum is looking for PhD students or postdocs in plant science who are willing to learn how to communicate science simply and in a relatable context for the general public. With guidance from the editorial office and associate editors, you will deliver popular science short pieces. We welcome written
Continue readingCall for articles – Modern plant breeding for achieving global food security
Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that the global human population will reach approximately 9 billion by 2050. The world farming system must produce 50% more food than the current production to meet growing food demands. Plant breeding-based technologies have contributed significantly to hunger reduction during the last few decades.

Call for articles – Role of phytohormones and plant-growth regulators in the regulation of plant immunity
DEADLINE CHANGED TO 31st MARCH 2024. Pathogenic microbes are responsible for enormous crop loss during pre and post-harvest storage conditions and, thus, are one of the major threats to sustainable crop production. In particular, fungal pathogens cause some of the most devastating diseases of staple crops, including blast disease of

Lignin (April 2023)
Call for articles – Large-scale data approaches in non-model species
NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 2024 This special issue focuses on data resources and computation approaches for non-model organisms. In the past decade, there has been a revolution in high throughput methods. This has liberated studies from the need to use model systems, as evidenced by the explosion in available genome

Some 500 million years ago plant life on land started to flourish and diversify. This transformative event required the ability to resist to earth’s challenges—abilities hard-wired in extant plants today. Some prerequisites for terrestrial life already evolved in streptophyte algae, thus offering building blocks and networks that enabled adaptation to
