Special Issue on Plant Pathology

Plant Pathology is the scientific study of plant diseases caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors).  Plant pathology also involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance, how plant diseases affect humans and animals, pathosystem genetics, and management of plant diseases.  The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of plant pathology.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore plant pathology. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Pathological analysis
• Plant pathogens
• Plant disease epidemiology
• Physiological plant disorders
• Disease resistance
• Management of plant diseases

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
