Molecular Response of Hosts to Fungal Toxins

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate molecular responses of host organisms to fungal toxins, shedding light on the biochemical pathways and genetic adaptations that mediate these interactions. Fungal toxins, or mycotoxins, pose significant threats to agricultural productivity and human health. Understanding the host's response at the molecular level is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate these risks. We invite contributions that encompass various aspects of host-fungal interactions, including but not limited to gene expression changes, signal transduction pathways, immune responses, and metabolic adaptations. By integrating findings from diverse fields such as molecular biology, toxicology, and plant pathology, this Special Issue will provide comprehensive insights into the dynamic interplay between hosts and fungal toxins.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxins is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
