Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grapevine plants are often exposed to stress factors of various natures, for example, abiotic and biotic stressors are one of the main causes of low yields, leading to large economic losses. In particular, when vineyards are infected with diseases, it is impossible to obtain full-fledged products from damaged berries, due to the insufficient content of tannins, aromatics, sugars and flavones, which deprives the wine of a typical bouquet. Plants have a large number of defense mechanisms acquired during evolution to prevent stress, such as the synthesis of phytohormones and secondary metabolites, the activation of transcription factors, and the expression of stress-specific genes to create an appropriate defense system.
The purpose of this Special Issue of the "Gene Expression and Stress Resistance Regulation in Grapevine" is to provide new and interesting approaches, methods for obtaining more resistant grapevine plants, as well as innovative research that will reveal new molecular mechanisms of stress response, stress resistance genes and regulation methods of the expression of these genes in grapevines.

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.
