Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticulturae plans to publish selected papers following the “2nd International Electronic Conference on Horticulturae (IECHo2025)”, covering a broad range of topics. Therefore, we invite conference attendees, co-authors, and their colleagues to submit original research and review articles. This Special Issue will comprise selected papers from all sections of the IECHo2025, namely Genomics and Molecular Biology, Abiotic and Biotic Stress, Precision Horticulture, Greenhouse and Indoor Farms, Postharvest Physiology and Technology, and Politics and Economy.
The manuscripts will be peer reviewed and published with the goal of achieving rapid and widespread diffusion. The aim of this Special Issue project is to highlight the outstanding research contributions highlighted at the IECHo2025, and thus advance the mission of disseminating scientific knowledge to benefit horticulture researchers worldwide.
The scientific committee warmly welcomes you all and looks forward to receiving your high-quality contributions.
Prof. Dr. Luigi De Bellis
