Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural plants generally include vegetables, fruit trees, tea trees, ornamental plants and medicinal plants. They are indispensable in people's daily lives.
Multi-omics techniques (such as chloroplast genomics, mitochondrial genomics, microbiomics, transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics) play an increasingly important role in addressing fundamental issues related to the conservation and utilization of horticultural plants.
The chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes have become important tools for studying the evolution, species identification and genetic variation in horticultural plants. By analyzing the sequence and structural changes in the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, we can gain in-depth insights into the phylogenetic relationships among horticultural plant species, trace their origins and evolutionary processes, and provide valuable information for the genetic improvement and conservation of horticultural plant genetic resources.
The comprehensive analysis of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and microbiomics data provides comprehensive biological information, helping us understand the genetic characteristics of horticultural plants, and the synthesis and regulatory mechanisms of bioactive compounds.
This Special Issue of Genes focuses on horticultural plant research from an omics perspective, and welcomes articles and reviews on the study of horticultural plants through multi-omics methods. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) identifying candidate stress resistance loci/genes in horticultural crops through omics data mining and other methods; 2) investigation of gene families related to horticultural plants, regulation of gene expression and validation of gene function using mutants and overexpression; and 3) analyzing the evolutionary process of horticultural plants through genomic data.

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. Genes 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.
