Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vegetables are essential nutritional foods for the human body, which can provide necessary vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other nutrients. As important active signaling molecules in plants, plant hormones participate in the regulation processes of plant growth and development and cell differentiation, such as seed dormancy and germination, cell division and elongation, tissue and organ differentiation, flowering and fruiting, maturity and aging, which play an important role in the growth and development of vegetables. A comprehensive investigation into phytohormone metabolism and signal transduction networks in vegetables is instrumental in elucidating vegetable growth, augmenting yield and stress tolerance. In recent years, remarkable strides have been made in the realm of phytohormone metabolism in vegetables, propelled by advances in molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics methodologies. Researchers have unveiled the synthesis, degradation, transport and signal transduction pathways of diverse phytohormones in vegetables, while also exploring the complex interactions between different plant hormones and molecular mechanisms. Simultaneously, artificially synthesized growth regulators are extensively utilized to modulate crop growth, enhance yield and ameliorate quality. In this Special Issue, we aim to exchange knowledge on any aspects related to rice hormone metabolism and signal transduction, aiming to achieve precise control over vegetable growth and development processes, and enhance vegetable resistance to adversity.

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. Agronomy 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 2600 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.
