Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of plant sciences, great efforts have been devoted to the identification and functional characterization of transcription factors (TFs), and to the investigation of the complex regulatory networks they are part of. The role of TFs has been extensively explored for many model organisms and crop species, shedding much light on the regulation of all aspects related to plant development, metabolism, and responsive physiology. All studies related to the translation—and expansion—of this body of knowledge, from model organisms to horticultural species, have therefore had enormous impact on the field’s improvement, both in terms of meeting the interests of producers and consumers, and in addressing the challenges represented by climate change and the growing need for agricultural sustainability.
This Special Issue welcomes your contributions to the study of TFs in horticultural species, and aims to explore the subject by means of a multidisciplinary approach related to plant development, basic genetics and breeding, physiology and agronomy.
Best regards
Dr. Dario Paolo
Dr. Chiara Mizzotti

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. Horticulturae is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
