Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The sustainable production of tree fruit crops faces significant challenges. Losses due to diseases such as citrus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ and bacterial canker, kiwifruit bacterial canker, pear fire blight, and gray mold play a large part in reducing yields, quality, and profitability. Utilization of host disease resistance is considered the most sustainable approach to protect plants against various pathogens. Original research articles, reviews, emerging technical approaches in specific subject areas, and prospective perspectives will be considered for publication. This Special Issue will cover topics including, but not limited to: bioinformatics, cellular and molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, and environmental biology related to fruit disease regulation.

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.

The Trihelix is a plant-specific transcription factor family and has critical roles in plant growth and development and stress resistance. There is less information about Trihelix transcription factor genes and their potential functions in strawberries (Fragaria vesca). In the present study, we performed a detailed bioinformatics analysis of the Trihelix family in strawberries including physicochemical properties, chromosomal location, exon–intron distribution, domain arrangement, and subcellular localization. Thirty Trihelix family members were identified and divided into five subfamilies. The expression of FvTrihelix genes in different tissues/organs, i.e., root, stolon, leaf, flower, and fruit, was measured in strawberries after infection with Colletotrichum. gloeosporioides and foliar applications of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). Most of the genes showed differential expression responses following C. gloeosporioides infection and hormone treatments (SA and JA), suggesting critical roles in disease resistance and hormonal signaling pathways. As anticipated, the ectopic expression of FvTrihelix6 in Arabidopsis thaliana increased resistance against Colletotrichum. higginsianum infection. FvTrihelix6 protein was localized in the nucleus. We surmise that FvTrihelix6 enhances resistance against pathogens through the SA and JA signaling pathways. This study provides novel insights into the strawberry Trihelix transcription factor genes and new candidates for disease-resistance breeding of strawberries. Full article
