Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Phytopathology Research focuses on plant diseases caused by fungi, oomycetes, and bacteria. The journal investigates the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity, host-pathogen interactions, and the genetic basis of resistance in crops. Research also includes the development of diagnostic tools and strategies for disease management, as well as the study of mycotoxins and plant defense responses.
