This article belongs to the Special Issue Interaction of Plants and Endophytic Microorganisms: Molecular Aspects, Biological Functions, Community Composition, and Practical Applications Ⅱ
The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:
In the article titled: “Brassicaceae Fungal Diseases: Molecular Detection and Host–Plant Interaction”. It would be better to modify the title and the keyword and also add a few sentences in the text where some pathogens are wrongly defined as fungi, but they belong to the Chromista Kingdom and/or Oomycota Phylum. There was only a problem with taxonomic aspects, and the changes regard only the systematics. Therefore, we would like to change the Title:
“Brassicaceae Fungi and Chromista Diseases: Molecular Detection and Host–Plant Interaction”. In the keywords: Instead of “Brassicaceae fungal diseases”, we will keep only the words “Brassicaceae diseases”.
A few sentences were adjusted in the text in the following part:
1. Introduction: However, white rust, clubroot, downy mildew, and damping-off represent the most destructive Chromista diseases of Brassicaceae [8].
2.3. Downy Mildew: It is an obligate biotrophic parasite of Brassicaceae and allied families of Brassicales, including many relevant crops such as broccoli, cabbage, radish, and rape [71].
2.4. Clubroot Disease: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a worldwide soil-borne obligate parasite primarily affecting the Brassicaceae species [73,74]. P. brassicae is distinct from other plant pathogens, such as fungi or oomycetes [75,76].
2.9. White Rust: It is actually considered as a member of the Oomycetes belonging to the family Albuginaceae included in the Kingdom Chromista. They are a group of organisms that are more closely related to golden-brown algae than they are to fungi.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
