Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vegetable crops contain a large number of species based on plant classification. Multi-omics studies into vegetable plants are of important theoretical value and economic significance. The development of sequencing technology and related bioinformatics tools greatly facilitate molecular biology studies of vegetable plants. Based on the large amount of sequence data produced by omics technologies, researchers in vegetable plant science are expected to carry out in-depth molecular genetics research and identify functional genes, which is expected to promote basic research and accelerate the creation of new varieties.
The development of omics technologies drives new progress in vegetable plant research. Hence, this Special Issue aims to integrate omics technologies and their applications, such as genomics, proteinomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and other related topics which can help to unearth the underlying biological mechanism in vegetable plants.
We invite researchers to contribute both original research articles and reviews to 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 papers will be 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 1400 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.
