Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of rapid environmental changes and sustainable development, the importance of forest products, including bamboo, trees, and grass, has never been more evident. These versatile resources are crucial in supporting future societies, from providing renewable materials to enhancing ecological diversity. They are key players in the global effort towards sustainability, offering solutions that are both innovative and eco-friendly.
We are inviting the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on the molecular aspects of bamboo, trees, grass, and other forest products. We seek contributions that explore the genetic, biochemical, and molecular bases of their growth, development, and responses to environmental stress. Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- The molecular biology and genetics of bamboo, trees, grass, and other forest plants;
- Sustainable cultivation practices and their molecular impacts;
- The utilization of forest products for eco-friendly materials and energy;
- Biochemical pathways involved in the production of valuable compounds;
- Stress resistance and adaptation mechanisms at the molecular level.
Your research can contribute to advancing knowledge in these vital areas, helping to shape the future of forest product utilization and conservation. We welcome you to send your manuscript immediately or at any point up until the deadline, as papers will be published on an ongoing basis.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
