About this Research Topic
The fruit production industry has been facing many challenges recently. For example, climate change, the introduction of new fruit-bearing species into production, traits of novel-bred fruit cultivars, innovations in orchard systems, rootstock/scion interactions, effects of fruit-growing technology and growing systems on yield, growing systems on yield, the appearance of new pathogens and pests, as well as birds and mammals in orchards, organic production, fruit quality and compounds, regulatory framework, high labour input, etc. Farmers need to have more up-to-date information and answers regarding these challenges. Modern fruit production is based on an adequate fruit-growing system, supported by many elements that complete this production.
The fruit-growing system is the key factor of fruit production. All aspects of production must fulfill the requirements of the growing system. The goal of this Research Topic is to represent recent information regarding modern innovation, experimental development, advanced research, and basic research to increase the effectiveness of fruit production in the next century. Fruit production is based on biological, phenological, and biochemical processes. Therefore, all participants in the fruit industry must understand the procedures running in the background to have successful growth. Results collected from long-term studies need to support these procedures.
This Research topic invites manuscripts that contain novel information about fruit-bearing species. We welcome studies reporting on new aspects, trends, and conclusions related to fruits. This topic welcomes manuscripts written by Ph.D. students, junior, and senior scientists dealing closely and widely with different fruit species to look at fruit production as a complex picture. Besides featuring studies on fruit species that grow on large surfaces, this Research Topic also welcomes manuscripts reporting on small crops. Manuscripts from basic research, applied science, discovery research, and experimental development are also invited.
