We welcome manuscripts improving our mechanistic understanding of primary and secondary plant metabolism.
We are welcoming manuscripts improving our mechanistic understanding of plant abiotic stress signalling and tolerance at the molecular and biochemistry levels.
Studies exploring the adaptation/role of primary and secondary metabolism in response to key climate-driven factors impacting plant growth and productivity (drought, temperature stress, rising soil salinity, eCO2 etc) will also be considered.
Furthermore, studies addressing the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant signalling, metabolism and acclimation, as well as studies exploring systemic signalling in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, are also appreciated.
