The 1st International Electronic Conference on Horticulturae held shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic was a great success. The event proved the invaluable role of virtual conferences in promoting global collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and other stakeholders all over the world.

Therefore, we are excited to invite you to join the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Horticulturae (IECHo2025), where we will explore the forefront of research in horticultural science. This conference will serve as a platform for vibrant collaboration and innovation in a world facing the challenges of climate change, a growing population, and the increasing demand for high-quality and sustainable horticultural products, ranging from fruits and vegetables to ornamental plants.

The conference will feature multiple sessions that cover the key research areas in horticultural science such as the following:
S1. Genomics and Molecular Biology;
S2. Abiotic and Biotic Stress;
S3. Precision Horticulture;
S4. Greenhouse and Indoor Farms;
S5. Postharvest Physiology and Technology;
S6. Politics and Economy.

We look forward to seeing you present and share your latest research work and ideas at this conference. The virtual format offers numerous advantages, including the elimination of registration fees and travel expenses, saving time, and enhancing personal comfort, which on-site events may not provide. Moreover, your presentation will reach hundreds of researchers worldwide.

This conference is hosted by MDPI, and all accepted abstracts will be published as one dedicated volume in Proceedings.

The Conference Committee will recommend manuscripts to be published in one Special Issue of Horticulturae (20% discount on APC) after the conference.
