Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue intends to cover recent advances regarding the identification and control of microbial pathogens in horticulture. Although all different approaches are welcome, we have special interest in control strategies using biocontrol agents or natural compounds, and in studies that specify the biocontrol mechanisms. The issue will cover all kinds of horticural crops, including floricultural and ornamental plants, fruits and vegetables. Methods for the control of pathogens during the preharvest and postharvest stages are suitable. The special issue will focus on microbial pathogens, including fungal, bacterial, and oomycete pathogens. The submitted studies must contain not only mechanistic studies but also in vivo experiments that demonstrate the efficacy of the control approaches.
