Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vegetable production is one of the most important industries in agriculture systems. Vegetable crops consist of a wide range of species and the edible organs of different vegetables are varied, such as roots, leaves, stems, and fruits. During cultivation, vegetable crops are challenged with a lot of environmental stresses, including heat, cold, salinity, drought, fluctuating lights, pathogens, viruses, and herbivores. It is necessary and of great significance to extend the knowledge of the ‘Stress Cultivation and Physiology of Vegetables’, including the role of phytohormones in stress cultivation and physiology of vegetable crops, using transcriptomics or metabolomics to reveal the mechanism of how vegetable crops respond to biotic or abiotic stresses, new technologies of vegetable stress cultivation improvement, breeding of high-quality vegetable germplasm with high tolerance, and green control of disease or herbivores of vegetable crops. These are just a few examples of the research topics which are dealt with in this Special Issue. Relevant research papers on the topic of ‘Stress Cultivation and Physiology of Vegetables: Challenges and Prospects’, as well as reviews are all welcomed.

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. Horticulturae 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 2200 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.
