Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More recently, various breakthroughs have led to the rapid advance of plant viruses research in China. Plant virus infections cause significant losses, drastically reducing crop yields and deteriorating crop quality. In China, outbreaks of virus and virus-like diseases on many important crops have generated considerable concerns within agriculture and food security. Moreover, new viruses are emerging and rapid spreading on rice, maize, tomato, cucurbits, apple trees, etc. Almost research teams on plant viruses in China have formed research expertise and interests, and have been devoting to revealing basic mechanisms involved in pathogenicity of important viruses, developing novel antiviral strategies and exploiting beneficial uses of viruses.
To present the state-of-the-art plant viruses research in China, this Special Issue welcomes research and review papers on the new progress in major plant virus research areas from China.
Dr. Tao Zhou
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Viruses 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 2600 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.
