Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fruit ripening is a very complex process. Exploring the regulation mechanisms underlying ripening can not only theoretically help us elucidate the developmental stages of plants, but also provide a theoretical basis for improving fruit quality and prolonging storage time. Environmental factors and endogenous hormones, through transcriptional and protein post-translational regulatory mechanisms, influence the stability and activity of related signaling molecules in fruit ripening. Given the rapid development and potential value of this research field, we encourage the submission of the latest findings (in the form of original research papers, perspectives, hypotheses, opinions, and reviews) to this Special Issue focused on the Mechanism and Regulation of Fruit Ripening. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: the development of novel technology for regulating fruit ripening, analyzing the gene regulatory network of fruit ripening and factors affecting quality formation during fruit ripening.

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. 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.
