Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytopathogenic microorganisms cause significant economic losses in crops around the world. The incidence of many of the diseases they cause has increased in recent years, mainly due to the prohibition of the use of many effective chemical pesticides due to their harmful action on other organisms and the environment.
The mechanisms through which microorganisms produce these diseases, their molecular bases, and the chemical relationships they establish with their target plants are in many cases still unknown. Therefore, research on this topic can contribute to developing new methods for activating or enhancing the natural defenses of plants, as well as discovering new biochemical targets of action of new molecules that are effective against phytopathogenic microorganisms and are environmentally friendly.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
