Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable production of tree fruit crops faces significant challenges. Losses due to diseases such as citrus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ and bacterial canker, kiwifruit bacterial canker, pear fire blight, and gray mold play a large part in reducing yields, quality, and profitability. Utilization of host disease resistance is considered the most sustainable approach to protect plants against various pathogens. Original research articles, reviews, emerging technical approaches in specific subject areas, and prospective perspectives will be considered for publication. This Special Issue will cover topics including, but not limited to: bioinformatics, cellular and molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, and environmental biology related to fruit disease regulation.
