Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural plants, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, as well as medicinal and beverage plants, are grown worldwide. They are of high economic value and play a vital role for human nutrition and overall wellbeing. Fruit quality, such as fruit’s size, shape, color, flavor, etc. are fundamental biological questions in horticultural crops. Horticultural plants are currently facing a combination of new challenges such as abiotic and biotic stress, which affect plant growth and development.
We invite researchers to submit advanced research manuscripts focused on the identification of key genes regulating fruit quality, the genetic regulatory network of fruit quality, and the regulation mechanism of stress tolerance of horticultural plants.
