Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An understanding of metabolic and regulatory networks during fruit development and ripening is highly valuable for the design of fruit crops improvement, including fruit growth, fruit quality, fruit yield, postharvest, biotic and abiotic stresses, nutritional quality, and health benefits. Boosted by the development of cutting-edge “omics” technologies, multiple different types of omics approaches have been developed to promote fruit crop research, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Research in different parts of the omics cascade and comparative omics studies have helped improve our understanding of fruit development and ripening as more and more genomes of fruit crops have been sequenced.
This Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art in the omics research on fruit development and ripening. We invite researchers to submit original research or review papers regarding the application of omic approaches to unveil the different aspects of fruit growth, development, and 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.
