Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of vegetable crops is seriously threatened by various plant pathogens causing severe yearly losses around the world. Disease management for vegetable crops is highly dependent on spraying pesticides, a costly and non-environmentally friendly measure. Resistance breeding, on the other hand, helps to control vegetable disease in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way. Nowadays, many new technologies developed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying disease resistance in plants have become available, including reference genomes, omics technics and modern phenotyping. However, these new tools are not widely used in vegetables. This Special Issue aims to collect original research papers, reviews and methods on the following themes:
- Identification and characterization of resistance or resistance-related genes in vegetable crops;
- Whole-genome analyses for disease resistance gene/protein structures, evolution;
- Vegetable crop resistance breeding using biotechnological techniques;
- Vegetable crop-microbe interactions;
- The immune signaling of vegetable crops;
- The hormone response of vegetable crops upon pathogen infection;
- Identification and characterization of susceptibility genes of vegetable crops;

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.
