Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stone fruit trees are important deciduous fruit trees. They have the advantages of wide distribution, large cultivation area, diverse germplasm, and rich nutrition. In recent years, with the increasing demand for fruit quality and disease resistance in production, the genetic breeding of stone fruit trees has received more and more attention. A deep understanding of genomics and genetics will help to improve breeding and production in stone fruit trees. Research progress on molecular biology and molecular marker assisted breeding have been achieved in stone fruit trees in recent years.
This Special Issue focuses on research and the latest developments in the field of genomics and genetic, breeding methods and MAS in stone fruit trees. The papers contribute to improving the efficiency of stone fruit tree breeding and establish an efficient stone fruit tree breeding system. You are welcome to submit relevant original research or review papers.

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.
