Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Abiotic stress, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, poses significant challenges to horticultural plant productivity and quality. Understanding how plants regulate gene expression in response to these stresses is crucial for developing resilient crop varieties. This Special Issue delves into the complex world of transcriptional regulation in horticultural plants under abiotic stress conditions.
The collection of articles in this issue provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field. It covers the molecular mechanisms underlying stress-responsive gene regulation, including the roles of transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, and signaling pathways.
This Special Issue aims to provide researchers, agronomists, and biotechnologists with a valuable resource on the latest developments in transcriptional regulation of horticultural plants under abiotic stress. By integrating molecular insights with practical applications, it seeks to pave the way for innovative approaches to improve crop performance and sustainability in the face of increasing environmental challenges

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.
