Crop and product physiology publishes major discoveries in the production of horticultural and agronomic crops as well as quality of the harvested products. The focus is on physiological regulation of crop production and product quality at harvest and its postharvest behaviour.
Read MoreCrop and Product Physiology publishes major discoveries in the production of horticultural and agronomic crops as well as quality of the harvested products. Understanding of crop production and product quality requires research that synthesizes knowledge from different aggregation levels, i.e. from gene, cell, tissue, organ, plant to crop level; up and down scaling between these aggregation levels can boost this understanding. Topics covered by this section include, but are not limited to:
· Physiological regulation of crop production
· Physiological regulation of product quality at harvest and its postharvest behavior
· Effect of environmental factors and cultivation techniques on crop physiology and how this affects crop production and pre- and post-harvest product quality
· Applications of basic research to enhance crop yield and pre- and post-harvest product quality in a sustainable way
Articles may include both studies based on experimentation as well as simulation modeling. Descriptive studies that report responses of growth, yield or quality to agronomical treatments will not be considered if they do not progress physiological understanding of these responses. Articles on crop storage, transportation and usage, and cropping systems, do not fall within the scope of this section.
