Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant–fungal interactions concern various aspects of plant physiology. The plant surface and soil are rich with fungi, which may have an impact on plant growth, health or immunity, both in a positive and negative manner. Fungal pathogens cause plant diseases, which is a major problem in agriculture. On the other hand, many species have been identified as growth-promoting factors. Plants may also have an impact on fungi. In fact, the compounds extracted from plants are widely studied due to their antimicrobial activity, leading to the possibility of their application in the treatment of fungal infections in mammals.
In the first volume of this Special Issue, we published 12 articles presenting the study involved in plant–fungal interactions. This Special Issue of Plants will focus on both positive and negative modulation of plant morphology, the metabolism and health of plant-associated fungi, and on the effect of plant extracts on fungal survival.
