Horticultural Crop Diseases and Analysis of Resistance Gene

Dear Colleagues,

Diseases of horticultural crops are major factors that significantly affect the quantity and quality of plants. Identification of the causal agents of diseases and mining resistance genes is one of the most crucial ways to manage crop diseases, but the studies analyzing the diseases and resistance genes in horticultural crops have not been fully evaluated.

The purpose of this special issue "Horticultural Crop Diseases and Analysis of Resistance Gene" is to present innovative studies, tools, approaches, and techniques that have successfully addressed concerns such as disease identification gene mining, gene function, roles of genes in transgenetic crops, and any other gene analysis that has improved the efficiency and sustainability of horticultural plants against diseases for producing high-quality crops.
