Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonhost resistance (NHR) is the most durable and efficient immune system in plants, and it provides resistance of a perticular plant species against all nonadapted pathogens. It is among the long awaited field of research. Identification of major NHR genes from the distant plant species has potential in generating broad-spectrum disease resistance in crop plants. But understang NHR with detailed molecular mechanism remains elusive, and has been investigated recently and would be helpful in translational research. In this special issue, we will have latest research and the review articles on aspects of nonhost resistance like pre-invasion, epigenetic changes, metabolic defense, pattern-triggered immunity, effector-triggered immunity, defense signaling, and plausible application in sustainable crop protection against biotic intruders.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
