Special Issue on Aquatic Plant  

Aquatic Plants are plants that have adapted to living in saltwater or freshwater. Aquatic plants are excellent “swimmers” or “divers”，they have special adaptation mechanisms for aquatic environments，such as aerenchyma, floating leaves, finely dissected leaves and so on. As an important component of ecosystem, they make a great contribution to the stability of aquatic ecosystem. This special issue is concerned with fundamental studies and applied research on aquatic plants.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring aquatic plant. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Plant-dominated aquatic systems
• Molecular 
• Biochemistry
• Physiology
• Aquatic plant production and decomposition
• Conservation of resources 
• Use of aquatic plants

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Aquatic Plant” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:

Submission Deadline	December 31st, 2014
