Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increase in both population and dramatic climatic changes all around the world, there is an increasing demand from societies for a higher quantity and quality of major vegetables. Resequencing approaches, applied to large-scale germplasm resources, have clarified the domestication and improvement of vegetable crops brought about by human selection; its application in genetic mapping and quantitative trait locus analysis has led to the discovery of key genes and molecular markers linked to important traits in vegetables. Moreover, genome-based breeding has been utilized in many vegetable crops, including Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Cruciferae, and other families, thereby promoting the molecular breeding level. It is a prerequisite to understand the genetic bases of important horticultural traits, along with their quality characters, stress tolerances and molecular regulation mechanisms, if we are to improve the production performance and product quality of vegetable crops effectively.
This Special Issue is open to the submission of a wide range of manuscripts. We invite research that evaluates vegetable genomes, comparative genomics, and various studies; gene transcription; and the inheritance of important breeding target traits, quality traits, and biotic or abiotic stress resistance traits in vegetables using advanced techniques, such as molecular genetics.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
