Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mycotoxin contamination in crops causes health and economic problems worldwide. However, practical methods for mycotoxin control are lacking, and we are in dire need of developing them. Inhibition of mycotoxin production is a possible method for mycotoxin control. In this Special Issue, manuscripts that provide data on inhibition of mycotoxin production are invited. Mycotoxin production inhibitors are useful as mycotoxin control agents. They are found in a variety of sources, such as plant constituents, microbial metabolites, pesticides, food additives, and chemical libraries. Mycotoxin production inhibitors are also useful as biological probes to investigate the regulatory mechanism for mycotoxin production. Works to clarify their modes of action are important for determining the optimal target of methods to control mycotoxin contamination. Microorganisms, which inhibit mycotoxin production, are useful as biocontrol agents. Works to investigate their inhibitory mechanism are also important. All papers dealing with these objectives are welcome.

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 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.
