Advanced Omics Technologies and Regulatory Mechanisms of Ornamental Plants

Dear Colleagues,

Ornamental plants include landscape trees, flowers and other ground cover.

With the recent advancements in omics sciences, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, these modern technologies provide new methods for studying plant molecular mechanisms. For ornamental plants, the study usually focused on the regulatory mechanism analysis using omics technologies.

The scope of this Special Issue includes a series of contents, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, single omics or multi omics analysis of ornamental plants, as well as epiomics (epigenomics, epitranscriptomics and epiproteomics) and interactomics (e.g., DNA–RNA interactomics, RNA–RNA interactomics, DNA–protein interactomics, RNA–protein interactomics, protein–protein interactomics and protein–metabolite interactomics), immunomics and microbiomics related to the regulatory mechanisms of ornamental plants. This Special Issue focuses on genetic traits related to flower color, floral fragrance, abiotic and biotic stress, and other characteristics of ornamental plants. This Special Issue also encourages experimental verification of the physiological mechanisms and molecular regulatory mechanisms of ornamental plants.

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.
