Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vegetables are one of the basic food sources for humans, which supply essential vitamins, minerals and fibers. Certain kinds of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and even seeds can form edible organs of vegetables with commercial values. Environmental factors such as temperature, light, atmosphere, moisture, fertilizers and soils as well as internal factors such as genetic makeup, plant hormones, and signal molecules affect the growth and development of vegetables and the formation of various edible organs.
In this Special Issue, we will provide a platform to exchange the effects of external factors and internal factors on the growth and development of vegetable crops. It is a research hotspot to reveal the mechanism of plant development and regulation by multiomics such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and epigenetics, etc, from genes to gene networks. We welcome a range of reviews, opinions and research articles on the growth and development of vegetables.

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.
