Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant pathology is a field in need of continuous study if we are to try to understand the mechanisms of plant–pathogen interaction and to cope with global crop losses due to disease. Disease management is also currently a crucial theme in plant pathology, and the development and design of novel environmentally friendly strategies has now become a necessity. This Special Issue (SI) in Plants entitled “Research on Plant Pathology and Disease Management” aims to be a platform showcasing current basic and applied research regarding plant–pathogen interactions at different levels, as well as novel disease management strategies. This SI welcomes manuscripts dealing with aspects of basic and applied plant–pathogen interaction studies involving disease mechanisms at different levels, the description of novel plant diseases, as well as crop protection and novel proposals of disease management strategies. Research involving studies in plant–pathogen interactions with viruses, fungi, bacteria, oomycetes, nematodes, etc., at the epigenetic, molecular, biochemical, physiological, and omic levels and showing a clear advance of knowledge in this field are especially welcome.
