Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable agriculture is currently both a challenge and a necessity for the increasing demand of the continually growing population. Suitable concentrations of nutrients, intensities of light radiation, moisture and temperature and fine management regimes are prerequisites that ensure suitable yields and a high quality of fruits. Due to their sessile nature, fruit crops undergo a myriad of abiotic and biotic stress stimuli during all of the development stages. Nevertheless, modification of physiological processes and morphogenesis plays important roles in the regulation of plant adaptation to exteral stimuli. A full comprehension of the complex mechanisms and processes that impact the growth of fruit crops and fruit production under environmental stresses will shed light on precision breeding and boost the management of fruit production practice.
This Special Issue entitled “Stress Physiology and Molecular Biology of Fruit Crops” will highlight recent progress in the physiological responses and underlying molecular mechanisms of fruit crops in response to environmental stresses including, but not limited to, mineral nutrient deficiencies and toxicities, osmotic stress, heavy metal stress, temperature stress and light stress, as well as strategies aiming at improving the stress tolerance of fruit crops and selecting resistant varieties through biomarker compound screening and resistance molecular breeding. This Special Issue attempts to cover all issues relating to studies of plant physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology in fruit crops in response to environmental stresses, as well as literature reviews of subjects related to this field.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
