Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Molecular Plant Pathology focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactions. Research investigates how plants defend against microbial invaders, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and how pathogens manipulate host processes to cause disease. Studies also explore the development of disease resistance and the impact of these interactions on crop yields.
