Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant disease is one of the most destructive stresses which causes severe damages on the growth, development, and yields of almost the entire Plantae all over the world. Many studies have focused on plant pathogens in regard to their virulence, recognition, and long-lasting interaction with plant defense systems, while the potential strategies to prevent them remain to be found. Therefore, new strategies for controlling plant disease are urgently needed. This Special Issue aims to offer an update on recent progress in different approaches to phytopathogen resistance and selected strategies for disease resistance of plants with new tools in breeding and planting patterns. Potential topics include but are not limited to: 1. plant–pathogen interactions; 2. genome editing for disease resistance; 3. mining and characterization of pathogen effectors; 4. interaction between planting patterns and plant diseases; 5. localization and application of resistance genes; 6. role of biocontrol agents in pathogen resistance; 7. future perspectives for disease-resistance breeding.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
