Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural plants play a significant role in everyday life by diversifying human diets, providing nutritious nourishment, enhancing our living environment, etc. Genetic improvement and breeding in horticultural plants are a rewarding activity which relies heavily on germplasm evaluation and a thorough understanding of the existing genetic diversity. During the past ten years, significant progress has been achieved in the research area of horticultural plants due to the rapid development and utilization of advanced technologies, such as genomics, phenomics, and enviromics.
This Special Issue will focus on “Recent Advances in Germplasm Evaluation and Breeding of Horticultural Plants”. We welcome novel research, reviews, opinions, methods, etc., covering all related topics, including germplasm evaluation, genetic diversity, genetics, genomics, metabonomics, phenotyping, and physiological responses of horticultural plants.
