Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural crops are excellent sources of carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, as well as the major source of most dietary antioxidants. With the growing world population and the effects of climate change, there is a need to enhance the production and also the quality of horticultural products. To meet future ecological and economic demands, conventional breeding methods combine with new biological technologies, such as the high throughput technologies, molecular markers, genetic engineering and genome editing, and phenomics, have been widely applied to lead the improvement of yield, quality, abiotic and biotic stresses in horticultural crops, and accelerate the development of new or improved cultivars.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to report the advances research for horticultural crops breeding and genetics. All original research papers or reviews are encouraged, to highlight innovative research aimed at improving horticultural crops, and to enrich the knowledge of various agronomic traits and functions.
