Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Horticultural Plants Pathology and Advances in Disease Management Volume II”, focused on plant–pathogen interactions, the biocontrol of diseases, and advancements in disease management, including technologies and products that are safe for the environment. This Special Issue of Horticulturae is also devoted to innovative tools developed in the field of the control of horticultural crop diseases, including ecologically safe technologies, to provide international scientists and producers with strategies for reducing various types of risks with the use of genome editing technology. The strategies that are safe-by-design for genome-edited or transgenic plants and “genetic firewalls” might be used to control plant diseases caused by pathogens and environmental conditions. At the same time, advancements in disease management technology—pathogen detection methods, NGS, bioinformatics analyses, etc.—are essential for the better detection and control of the ongoing evolution and movement of horticulture plant pathogens. Hence, we invite you to make a contribution to this issue to support future sustainable agricultural development. Original papers, reviews, and comments are welcome.

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.
