Plants constantly adapt their metabolism and signaling to survive in a highly dynamic environment. In the past few years, the integration of metabolomics and other omics technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics has accelerated our understanding of plant metabolism and plant signaling and their role in the interaction between plants and their (a)biotic environment. This Special Issue will focus on the integration of omics technologies to elucidate metabolite biosynthesis, perception, and transport and their role in signaling within a plant and between plants and other organisms in their environment. In addition, discoveries made through the integration of omics technologies have promoted applications in the fields of biotechnology and synthetic biology. We would like to invite researchers employing metabolomics in conjunction with other (omics) tools to contribute papers on hormone metabolism and signaling in plants, systemic and local signal responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, stress-induced metabolic reprogramming, chemical communication between plants and other organisms, molecular farming, food quality improvement, and agricultural and pharmaceutical applications.

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 papers will be 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 the 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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
