Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fruits of fruit trees have distinct biological characteristics, fruit quality features and nutritional value, and play an irreplaceable role in people's daily diet. In recent years, research on fruit quality in terms of sugar and acid flavor formation, fruit size, color, texture, nutrient formation basis and regulation has been widely carried out. However, fruit ripening and quality formation is a complex system. Therefore, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the cascade regulation mechanism and its regulatory network of quality formation, the interactive regulation mechanism of plant hormone signal transduction and quality formation, the signal pathway and regulatory mechanism of fruit quality formation coupled with the environment, and the application of multi-omics, genetic transformation, gene editing and other technologies to regulate the mechanism of fruit quality formation, so as to provide theoretical and technical support for quality regulation and genetic improvement of horticultural products.
This Special Issue focuses on the research field of omics analysis, gene identification, biological and abiotic stress, nutritional composition, flavor formation mechanism, fruit ripening, breeding and other related areas of fruit trees. Articles and reviews are both welcome.

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. Agriculture 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 2600 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.
