Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Root diseases are economically important in legumes, affecting large areas of crop production in many countries worldwide. Root rots, caused by Aphanomyces euteiches, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium species and wilts, caused by several formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum, are the most destructive soil-borne diseases of cultivated legumes such as pea, chickpea, lentil, soybean, bean, faba bean, lupin, and alfalfa.
The Special Issue will mainly consist of selected papers presented at the “8th International Legume Root Diseases Workshop”. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
- Survey, occurrence, and epidemiology;
- Pathogen biology, population genetics, and genomics;
- Plant–pathogen and pathogen–soil micro-organism interactions;
- Plant genetics, genomics, and breeding for resistance;
- Integrated disease management.
