Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant biotechnology offers the possibility to clean up, propagate, preserve, and acclimatize cultivars and species of fruit trees, which are valuable as everyday food, used for cosmetics and medicine. Tissue culture is a complex of methods used in plant development for isolated plant cells, tissues, or organs cultured in different conditions. The ways of in vitro regeneration depend on different biotic and abiotic factors. During the study of this process, it is incredibly important to investigate physiology and anatomomorphology characteristics of cultured plants, organs, and tissues. Genomics provides us with useful information on open mechanisms of plant development at different stages of reproduction and adaptation. Tissue culture has developed useful biotechnological approaches to horticulture.
The purpose of this Special Issue titled “Toward Tissue Culture in Fruit Trees: Latest Advances and Prospects” is to present results in biotechnology, studies, traditional and new methods, and perspectives of in vitro conservation that have been successful in several fields of tissue culture applied to fruit trees:
- Clonal micropropagation;
- Organogenesis/somatic embryogenesis;
- Plant cleaning up and obtain virus- and viroid-free cultivars and forms.
- Genomic of plant regeneration, conservation ,and acclimatization in fruit trees;
- Anatomomorphological and physiological aspects of plant propagation;
- Plant conservation;
- Plant acclimatization ex vitro and in vivo.

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.
