  • Journal of Experimental Horticulture

    • ISSN: 3051-1186
    The Journal of Experimental Horticulture is an international, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the field of horticulture. The journal’s primary aim is to publish high-quality scientific papers that enhance knowledge and deepen our understanding of horticultural crop biology, physiology and genetics. We seek research that contributes to the development of superior horticultural crops and provide valuable insights for the sustainable improvement of horticultural plant cultivation and food security.We encourage researchers to submit manuscripts focused on various aspects of horticultural crops including but not limited to:Molecular breeding for improved horticultural crop productionPlant and fruit physiologyPostharves... physiology and biologyPlant-pathoge... interactionsDevelopm... and molecular responses to abiotic stressesResilience and adaptation to climate changeGenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, phenomics and the integration of OMICs technologies in horticultural cropsHorticulture genetic resourcesGenome editing in horticultural cropsWe welcome submissions based on both basic sciences, aimed at understanding fundamental processes in horticultural crops, and applied research that benefits various aspects of horticultural science, such as breeding, cultivation, crop quality and postharvest management. Papers that report valuable preliminary data or single-year studies will be considered if they provide significant insights and are supported by comprehensive methodologies and robust results. Descriptive or confirmatory studies on biological processes previously described in other model species, are welcome, as long as they are driven by a clear hypothesis and conducted with appropriate methodologies.Journa... of Experimental Horticulture DOES NOT accept papers based on non-horticultural species, such as cereals, forestry, medicinal and industrial crops. Studies on plant-pathogen interactions that primarily focus on the pathogen, molecular biology studies or biotechnological applications without a clear orientation toward horticulture, and technological approaches unrelated to horticultural science (e.g., engineering applications or fruit processing) will be considered OUT of SCOPE. We place a high value on molecular investigations of fruit during postharvest, however, papers focused solely on the application of postharvest technologies will be considered OUT of SCOPE.The journal will also organize Special Issues on important and specific topics curated by Guest Editors.

  • Field Crops Research

    • ISSN: 0378-4290
    SCIENTIFIC NOVELTYField Crops Research is an international journal publishing scientific articles on:√ Original experimental and modelling research, meta-analysis of published data. √ Articles must demonstrate new scientific insights, original technologies or novel methods at crop, field, farm and landscape levels.FOCUS and SCOPEThe focus of Field Crops Research is crop ecology, crop physiology, agronomy, and crop improvement of field crops for food, fibre, feed and biofuel. The inclusion of yield data is encouraged to demonstrate how the field experiments contribute to the understanding of the bio-physical processes related to crop growth, development and the formation and realisation of yield. Articles on quality (grain, fibre, fodder), breeding and genetics, crop protection (diseases, pests, weeds), phenotyping, remote and non-contact sensing, soils, climate and greenhouse gas emissions, are encouraged, provided they are integrated with crop ecology, crop physiology, crop improvement and/or agronomy. Articles containing new insights into resource-use efficiency, crop intensification, precision and digital agriculture, climate smart practices and molecular and/or physiological breeding are welcome. Studies at lower levels of organisation (plant to molecular) must demonstrate scaling up to crop level or higher.SCIENTIFIC and PRESENTATION STANDARDManuscripts must be written in grammatically sound English.Objectives must flow from complete, brief, unbiased and updated review of the literature.Experimen... design must match objectives.Field experiments must be repeated in at least two seasons or locations.Key agronomic practices and environmental conditions (soil, weather) must be detailed, and weather information should be shown in relation to crop phenology.Data must be analysed with appropriate statistics, and results have to be concise and address objectives.A separate discussion must not repeat results but place findings in agronomic context with conclusions fully justified by data.OUT of SCOPEResearch that is corroborative, descriptive, or only of local significance.Studies carried-out exclusively under controlled-environme... (greenhouse, pot, or any system that constricts root growth) conditions.Studies on natural grasslands, horticultural (i.e., vegetable and fruit species), woody perennial and non-cultivated species.One-year field studies in one location or environment.Articles on crop storage, transportation and usage, and social studies on crops and cropping systems.
