Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the first Special Issue “Progress in Horticultural Crops—from Genotype to Phenotype” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/agronomy/special_issues/R2ZCWQ40C3), we are pleased to announce the launch of a second series of the Special Issue.
Horticultural plants play an irreplaceable role in satisfying human nutrition, as well as other aspects. Horticultural plants have some excellent traits, including plant type structure, nutrient enrichment, color change, organ development, etc. In recent years, progress has been made in the research on the phenotype variation of horticultural plants and the genotype changes behind it. This progress will effectively accelerate the rate of production of more nutritious, improved and interesting horticultural products for human beings. In recent years, new technologies are increasingly being used to bridge the genotype–phenotype gap in crop selection.
This Special Issue focuses on the progress addressing phenotype variation and its underlying genotype basis in horticultural crops, including the following themes:
- All types of omics, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics;
- Genetic engineering and genome editing;
- Organ formation and development, and the relevant genetic basis;
- Genetic analysis of tolerance or resistance;
- Genome biology and evolution;
- Genetic basis of quality and production;
- Stable and transient transformation technology.

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.
