Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and environmental impacts have interfered with food production and the yield of the main horticultural crops. Plants are constantly exposed to extreme environmental conditions, which can cause physiological, biochemical and nutritional disorders that affect, above all, the growth and yield of horticultural species, such as fruit, vegetable, ornamental, medicinal and spice plants. Climate change forecasts and population growth in the coming decades are the main challenges to horticultural production around the world. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the theme “effects of environmental stresses (water, salts, nutritional deficiency, pollution, heavy metals, temperature and toxicity) on the morphophysiological, anatomical, biochemical, nutritional aspects and on the yield and quality of horticultural crops”. Strategies that mitigate the damage caused by environmental stress(es) related to nutritional, hormonal and cultivation environment management, as well as the anatomical, physiological and biochemical mechanisms involved with the adaptability and acclimatization of plants and the identification of species and genotypes tolerant to environmental stress with an emphasis on horticultural species, are within the scope of this Special Issue. In this sense, the Special Issue is open to the submission of high-quality studies on the topic “Environmental Stresses and Yields of Horticultural Crops”. Review manuscripts and original research on the topic are accepted for submission to the journal Horticulturae (impact factor 3.1; citescore 2.4).

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.
