The Journal of Plant Pathology is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that serves as a leading platform for the dissemination of research and advancements in the field of plant pathology. The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research that enhances the understanding of plant diseases and supports sustainable agricultural practices and food security.

The journal covers a wide array of topics related to the pathology of plants, including but not limited to:

• Biology, identification, and classification of plant pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, phytoplasmas, etc.)

• Mechanisms of plant–pathogen interactions

• Epidemiology and ecology of plant diseases

• Disease resistance and plant immunity

• Molecular and cellular aspects of plant diseases

• Diagnosis and detection methods for plant pathogens

• Integrated disease management and biological control

• Mycotoxins and plant toxinology

• Post-harvest pathology and crop protection

• Climate change and its impact on plant health

• Advances in plant disease modeling and forecasting

• Use of genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology in plant pathology

The journal accepts original research articles, review papers, short communications, case studies, and perspectives that contribute significantly to the understanding and control of plant diseases.

The Journal of Plant Pathology aims to promote collaboration among researchers, agronomists, plant breeders, and policy makers by offering timely insights into critical issues affecting global agriculture and plant health.
