Horticulture is of great significance to enrich people's material life and economic production. The application of molecular biology and related technologies in horticulture provides a clear direction of improvement and a solid theoretical basis for solving practical problems, and is bound to open a new direction of the discipline under the molecular age -- molecular horticulture.

 

Molecular Horticulture  is a premier horticulture journal newly launched by Shanghai JiaoTong University with Springer Nature as its publisher. The Journal is guided by a distinguished Advisory Board consisting of preeminent academics and edited by an outstanding international Editorial Board comprised with globally highly recognized scholars. The Journal is fully Open Access (OA) yet free of charge to authors. The first issue was officially launched on June 16, 2021.

 

Aims 

Molecular Horticulture aims to publish research and review articles that significantly advance our knowledge in understanding how the horticultural crops or their parts operate mechanistically. Articles should have profound impacts not only in terms of high citation number or the like, but more importantly on the direction of the horticultural research field.

 

Scope

Molecular Horticulture publishes original Research Articles,Letters,and Reviews on novel discoveries on the following, but not limited to, aspects of horticultural plants (including medicinal plants):

  • Developmental and evolutionary biology
  • Physiology, biochemistry and cell biology
  • Plant-microbe and plant-environment interactions
  • Genetics and epigenetics
  • Molecular breeding and biotechnology
  • Secondary metabolism and synthetic biology
  • Multi-omics dealing with data sets of genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, epigenome and/or microbiome.

The journal also welcomes research articles using model plants that reveal mechanisms and/or principles readily applicable to horticultural plants, translational research articles involving application of basic knowledge (including those of model plants) to the horticultural crops, novel Methods and Resources of broad interest.

In addition, the journal publishes Editorial, News and View, and Commentary and Perspective on current, significant events and topics in global horticultural fields with international interests.

 

Molecular Horticulture warmly welcomes colleagues at home and abroad to become our readers, authors or reviewers and create a global scientific community of horticulture together.
