Abstract
A warm welcome from the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Stresses, Luigi Sanità di Toppi, Full Professor of Botany at the University of Pisa, Italy [...]
Highlights
The thinking behind Stresses, this new gold open access international journal, is substantially inspired by the pioneering studies on responses to various stressors performed by the eminent scientist Hans Selye (1907–1982)
Given that we can define stresses as “more or less marked deviations from the metabolic optimum condition”, it must be said that organisms are anything but passive when they come to such deviations, namely biotic and abiotic stresses: they readily perceive stresses at various levels and initiate signaling which, where necessary, alerts the entire biological system
Are organisms and viral particles exposed to one single stress factor: usually they are targeted by multiple simultaneous stresses, at times in rapid succession
Summary
I am experienced as an author, reviewer, and leading editorial board member for various international peer-reviewed scientific journals, with particular emphasis on stress responses in plants. As Editor-in-Chief, I have a large and active network of well-connected scientists to support this new journal with high-level submissions, special issues, topical collections, and reviews.
