Genomics and biotechnology play crucial roles in biological research, rapidly propelling the field of plant science. They provide the means to delve deeply into the understanding of plant genomics and functions, driving plant improvement and genetic studies, as well as deciphering mechanisms of plant responses to environmental stress. Furthermore, they further our comprehension and application of plant evolution and diversity. These advancements reported in this Special Issue, entitled "Genomic Analyses and New Breeding Technologies for the Enhancement of Horticultural Plants", contribute to the better utilization of plant resources, enhancing crop yield and quality, stress adaptations, as well as the preservation and conservation of plant species.
