New Insights into Developmental Biology of Fruit Trees

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid changes in biological disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and plant physiology, the era of scientific research on fruit tree life phenomena through interdisciplinary and multi-methods has arrived. Especially in recent years, researchers from different levels of molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, anatomy and morphology have used a variety of experimental methods to study the cytology of the external development and internal structure of fruit trees, as well as morphological processes and their cellular and molecular biological mechanisms, achieving very impressive research results. Therefore, we plan to publish a Special Issue focusing on fruit tree developmental biology, and introducing the latest research results of model plants and bioinformatics technology in this field. Through this Special Issue, researchers can keep track of the latest research results and developments.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
