Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crops have made important contributions to human development, but the crops themselves are often attacked by diseases during growth. Therefore, research on crop disease resistance traits provides an important scientific reference for crop disease prevention and control. Current global climate change has brought different new challenges to crop disease control, so new disease resistance resources and new control systems need to be constantly updated to cope with different crop diseases. Additionally, deepening the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of crop disease resistance can help to cope with the occurrence of crop diseases.
This Special Issue of Agronomy will focus on new achievements for crop disease resistance, including but not limited to:
- Newly cloned disease resistance genes;
- Newly discovered or artificially created germplasm resources for disease resistance;
- New crop disease control technologies;
- Newly discovered resources of biocontrol bacteria and their disease resistance mechanisms;
- Molecular mechanism of disease resistance genes.
