Horticulture

HortScience seeks to advance selected papers in horticultural research derived from original efforts in design, engineering, exploration, and preliminary testing of new methods, processes, products, protocols, techniques, and technologies formulated with the primary goal of solving a problem. The research studies published in HortScience are limited to advances in knowledge derived from high-value specialty crops and their components or products. HortScience seeks to publish the results of problem-solving research, typically conducted on a small-scale basis, in controlled environments or in limited trials. Generally, the results are not considered ready for direct utilization by practitioners, without additional evaluation efforts in larger-scale development trials.

This journal publishes articles in the field of practical horticultural science. It seeks to advance selected peer-reviewed papers derived from topics in practical horticultural investigations with the primary goal of improving capabilities of horticultural practitioners and students, or recommending best practices for horticultural operations, or advancing knowledge concerning the intrinsic social benefits associated with the intersection of humanity and horticulture.

Theoretical and Applied Genetics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research and review articles in the fields of modern plant genetics, plant genomics, and plant biotechnology, with a focus on the genetic component and its impact on plant breeding. It accepts theoretical considerations only in combination with new experimental data and innovative approaches in leading crop plants.
