Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil salinization seriously inhibits the growth and development of plants, resulting in substantial losses in horticultural crop yields worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism of plants in response to saline stress and improving stress resistance are essential for agricultural production and environmental sustainability. Plants have adapted multiple responses to saline stress, including the expression of stress-response genes, ROS homeostasis, and the production of secondary metabolites.
The purpose of this Special Issue, “Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Horticultural Crops to Saline Stress”, is to present original research and review manuscripts focused on horticultural crops’ adaptation mechanisms to saline stress at the molecular, cellular, tissue, morphological, and physiological levels and propose novel solutions to increase the adaptability of the plants to saline stress.

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.
