Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flower and fruit development are processes tightly regulated by genes and phytohormones. In recent decades, an enormous wealth of information and knowledge has been obtained on the developmental processes underlying the formation and development of flowers and fruits in model plants, non-model plants, and crops. The generation, integration, and translation of gene regulatory networks driving development are important goals of many colleagues around the world. Many challenges and opportunities lie ahead of the generation of a deep understanding of regulatory networks guiding plant reproductive development. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the function of genes, phytohormones, and gene regulatory networks in flower and fruit development.
