Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ornamental plants play an important role in human life and health, and are widely used in agriculture, industry, and medicine, with great scientific interest and economic implications. However, although most flowers have difficulty in breeding, and their excellent characters cannot be maintained, the regulatory mechanism has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, the study of physiology and molecular biology of ornamental plants can not only provide assistance for the screening of candidate genes and targeted breeding, but also help to study the regulatory mechanism of ornamental flowers through classical molecular biology. Based on these, we have decided to launch this Special Issue on “Physiological and Molecular Biology Research on Ornamental Flower”.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions from researchers working in the field of physiological and molecular biology of ornamental plants. Original research articles are encouraged for submission.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Biotechnology or physiological research on ornamental plants;
- Gene editing of ornamental traits;
- Molecular regulatory mechanism of ornamental traits;
- Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in ornamental plants;
- Biotic or abiotic stress resistant gene function in ornamental plants;.
- Integrative analysis of multi-omics.

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.
