Molecular Horticulture

Molecular Horticulture is an international open access journal focused on the field of horticultural science, published in collaboration between Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Springer Nature Group. This journal aims to publish research and review articles that can significantly advance our understanding of horticultural crops or their mechanical operations. The goal of the journal is to have a profound impact in the academic community and guide the future direction of horticultural research.

The journal covers a wide range of research areas, including but not limited to the developmental and evolutionary biology of horticultural plants, physiology, biochemistry and cell biology, plant microbe and plant environment interactions, genetics and epigenetics, molecular breeding and biotechnology, secondary metabolism and synthetic biology, and multi omics analysis. The journal encourages the use of model plants to reveal mechanisms applicable to horticultural plants and promote research on the translation of basic knowledge into horticultural crops. In addition, the journal also focuses on the development of new methods and resources, as well as editorials, news and perspectives, and comments and viewpoints on important events and topics in the global horticulture field.
