Special Issue Information
This Special Issue aims to showcase recent advances in mycotoxin-producing plant pathogens. We are welcoming submissions on mycotoxin occurrence and its possible increase, with a specific focus on how climate change, crop intensification procedures, and global commerce are paving the way for mycotoxin-producing fungi “invasions”, recrudescence, and/or re-emergence. We invite you to submit your recent findings related to these topics and novel tools to measure, track, and limit the diffusion of mycotoxin-producing fungi.
