Manuscript submission deadline: 30 June 2025

New Phytologist is calling for papers for submission to a Special Collection on Stomata.

As highlighted at the 46th New Phytologist Symposium, there have been dramatic developments in our understanding of stomata in recent years. These extend from how stomata function and development is controlled, to their evolution and the impact of manipulating stomatal function on plant water-use efficiency. With this Special Collection we aim to review these developments and plan for future stomatal research needs, including research of both a fundamental nature and that which will result in short-term societal benefits. Given the context of environmental change that affects all parts of the globe, it is essential to place stomatal research in this overarching context and we welcome submissions on this topic.

To register your intention to submit an article, please complete the form and submit your abstract by clicking the button below, before 14 February 2025. All abstracts of potential articles will be considered for their suitability, and we will aim to get a decision back to authors within three weeks of abstract submission. The deadline to submit the full manuscript will be 30 June 2025, but you are welcome to submit before this date if your manuscript is ready.

Submit your abstract (now closed)
