Journal Title：Scientia Horticulturae

Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.

Scientia Horticulturae 是一本出版与园艺作物相关的研究的国际期刊。该期刊中的文章涉及在温带、亚热带和热带条件下开放或保护的蔬菜、水果、食用菌和观赏植物的生产。如果相关领域的论文（生物化学、微繁殖、土壤科学、植物育种、植物生理学、植物病理学等）包含对园艺具有直接意义的信息，则可以考虑。园艺技术方面（工程、作物加工、储存、运输等）的论文只有在直接与有生命的产品相关时才被接受发表。对于种植园作物，将考虑生产可新鲜使用的产品（例如热带蔬菜、柑橘、香蕉和其他水果），而那些描述产品加工的论文（例如橡胶、烟草和奎宁）将被考虑） 将不会。该期刊的范围包括所有园艺作物，但不包括特殊作物，例如药用作物或竹子等林业作物。本期刊不考虑没有任何直接应用于园艺的基础分子研究。
