Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The open-access journal Horticulturae (IF: 2.331; Q1 in Horticulture) is pleased to announce that we have launched a new Special Issue titled “Genetic Resources and Breeding Trends of Berry Crops”. Given your expertise in this field, we would like to invite you to contribute an article to the present Special Issue.
The proposed aims of this Special Issue are to present advanced studies, methods, tools, and innovations in the field of small fruit breeding and study and involve genetic resources for the development of new cultivars. We hope to receive your contributions so as to share them with the community of researchers, students, and technicians community, new knowledge of progress in the breeding of new cultivars in the light of ongoing climate change. In the hope that this invitation receives your favorable consideration, we look forward to our future collaboration.
Breeding programs are taking advantage of modern technologies, underpinning the development of more resilient and high-quality cultivars (Jarret et al., 2019). Integration of new tools of smart phenotyping and marker-assisted breeding offers new possibilities for a more efficient breeding process.
