Sommario/riassunto

In recent years, the requirements for technical components have steadily been increasing. This development is intensified by the desire for products with a lower weight, smaller size, and extended functionality, but also with a higher resistance against specific stresses. Mono-material components, which are produced by established processes, feature limited properties according to their respective material characteristics. Thus, a significant increase in production quality and efficiency can only be reached by combining different materials in a hybrid metal component. In this way, components with tailored properties can be manufactured that meet the locally varying requirements. Through the local use of different materials within a component, for example, the weight or the use of expensive alloying elements can be reduced. The aim of this Special Issue is to cover the recent progress and new developments regarding all aspects of hybrid bulk metal components. This includes fundamental questions regarding the joining, forming, finishing, simulation, and testing of hybrid metal parts.

Sommario/riassunto

Since the first release of a horticultural crop (grapevine) genome in 2007, hundreds of genome sequences from horticultural plants have been made available to the public. These sequences have facilitated the decoding of genes responsible for the horticultural traits of horticultural crops, including fruit crops, vegetable crops, ornamental crops, beverage crops, and medicinal crops, to an unprecedented degree. In order to promote the findings in this area, Horticulturae is launching a Special Issue entitled "Genomic Analyses and New Breeding Technologies for the Enhancement of Horticultural Plants". The focus of this Special Issue will be analysing the genes responsible for horticultural traits and investigating the use of breeding technologies for horticultural crops.
