Here we present the ‘Emerging Talents in Horticulture: Viticulture, Pomology and Soft Fruits' article collection, a project dedicated to highlighting the emerging talent of student researchers. The research presented here highlights the quality and diversity of student researchers across the field of viticulture, pomology, and soft fruits.

Across the world, students are undertaking key research as part of their education. However, most of this research is not communicated to a wider audience. We recognize that this is because many student researchers find the thought of peer-review daunting. At Frontiers, peer-review is a highly collaborative process, and our interactive peer-review is tailored to provide hands-on guidance and constructive feedback to researchers. Our Topic Editors are committed to the development of emerging talents and want to see student researchers strive for success in their publications.

This Research Topic will help to identify emerging talents in the field and will allow the community to follow the aspiring careers of our rising star researchers.

The Research Topic especially welcomes novel research on the implementation of emerging technologies in viticulture, pomology, and soft fruits, such as the following subtopics, but not limited to:
• New technologies/instrumentation to assess the effects of management strategies on canopy structure, fruit development, quality traits and yield.
• New technologies/instrumentation to assess the effects of climatic anomalies, such as frosts, droughts, higher ambient temperatures, and bushfires (smoke contamination), among others on canopy structure, fruit development, quality traits and yield.
• Rapid and early assessment techniques to determine levels of biotic and abiotic stresses.
• Novel ways of phenotyping using digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
• Reviews of comparison of established technologies with new digital tools for viticulture and pomology.
• Developments of computational tools for viticulture and pomology based on computer applications (Apps) for smartphones and tablet PCs.
