Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last twenty-five years, detection methods for plant pathogens have been improved significantly and this progress was possible due to the introduction of molecular techniques and advances in DNA sequencing; as a result, many new detection methods have been developed. These advancements are especially important for companies growing plant material as this must be free of plant diseases. Detection of various important pathogenic organisms therefore plays an important role in this sector. As mentioned before, these newly developed detection methods are increasingly based on molecular principles. How we can quickly, sensitively, and specifically detect pathogenic organisms in plant material represents a crucial issue with an important economic impact. The aim of this Special Issue is to present some of the most recent progress in the detection of plant pathogens and how these new developments influence the nursery sector.
