Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will contribute to our understanding of the role of genetic resistance against fungal diseases in agriculture.
We welcome manuscripts that deal with the following aspects of fungal disease resistance in plants:
- New sources of fungal disease resistance genes;
- Resistance genes in wild relatives of crop plants and their interspecies introgression;
- Stability of R -genes and the emergence of new races and pathotypes;
- Host jumping of fungal pathogens and the appearance of new diseases;
- Resurgence and evolution of virulence of fungal plant pathogens;
- Mapping of R genes and QTLs responsible for fungal plant resistance to disease;
- Current methodologies of breeding for disease resistance against fungal pathogens;
- Methods of avoiding the erosion of fungal plants resistance genes;
- Elicitors of induced resistance against fungal diseases;
- Integration of genetic resistance in Integrated Pest Management.
