Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Abstract
Plant biologists have long used various model organisms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, to study biological processes. The emergence of algal model organisms in recent years greatly facilitated plant research due to their compact genomes with a very low level of functional redundancy and their physiological properties. Here, the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris has been used as a model organism to study the effect of whey hydrolysates against heat stress in vascular plants. Cell density in culture, as well as chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations, were monitored during an initial growth phase, followed by a heat stress phase and a subsequent recovery phase. Results showed that whey hydrolysates promoted the recovery of heat-stressed C. vulgaris and showed improved growth rates and generation times after heat stress compared to cells grown in BG-11 only. Similarly, the production of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and total carotenoids was improved in comparison to cells grown only in BG-11. The results may aid the development of novel biostimulants that protect crops from climate change due to higher throughput and shorter study times compared to traditional plant models.
Keywords: biostimulants; algae; growth profiles; chlorophyll; carotenoids; cell size
