Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special issue “Genetic Insights into Plant-Pathogen Interactions” attempts to highlight the fascinating interactions that exists between pathogens and plants. The genetic factors influencing these interactions are examined in this issue, providing important information about pathogen evolution, plant defence mechanisms, and the general dynamics of these interactions. Researchers are invited to contribute their research that will expand our knowledge of the molecular and genetic underpinnings governing these important connections, opening new avenues for crop productivity and sustainable agriculture.
