Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungal pathogens are responsible for a vast number of diseases in agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture. This has a great impact on the economics of developing and developed countries all over the world. Microscopic, metabolomic, and molecular biology methods allow for detailed investigations of plant–fungus interactions, shedding new light on different aspects of fungal pathogenesis. In this Special Issue, we welcome original and review papers from all research areas of plant diseases induced by fungi, including plant disease resistance and susceptibility, epidemiology and the control of fungal pathogens, and fungal pathogenesis.
