Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various biotic (fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insects) and abiotic (drought, cold, heat, salinity, heavy metals, and ultraviolet radiation) stresses influence plant development and crop productivity. To cope with these stresses, plants experience varied cellular, molecular, and physiological changes. Understanding the complexity of the physiological factors that contribute to stress tolerance in horticultural crops is essential for maintaining the productivity and quality of these crops. Rapidly determining plant physiological information under different stresses is meaningful for plant growth and development regulation and helps us to understand the plant adaptive mechanism. This Special Issue covers studies focusing on the effects of stresses on horticultural plants and physiological mechanisms of plant adaptation. We encourage scientists to submit their studies of tolerance mechanisms of horticultural crops to various stresses as research articles, review papers, or short communications.

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.
