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.
