Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Horticultural Crops—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Plants are constantly exposed to environmental factors that affect them and negatively impact the growth, development, productivity, and survival of major crops and forest ecosystems worldwide. Abiotic stress is intensified by global climate change, which increases desertification and soil salinization. Against this backdrop, plants have developed mechanisms (at the molecular, cellular, and plant levels) to detect and respond to these environmental challenges and adjust their growth to survive and reproduce. Understanding such mechanisms is crucial to implementing strategies that mitigate abiotic stress's adverse impact on plants.

This Special Issue, “Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Horticultural Crops—2nd Edition”, aims to present some of the results of the research conducted by colleagues interested in the different facets of abiotic stress in horticulture from a molecular, biochemical, physiological, or productivity point of view. The various production systems and the botanical diversity of horticultural crops are welcome as relevant components of this Special Issue.

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.
