Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant diseases pose a significant threat to global agriculture, causing significant economic losses and threatening food security. Accurate diagnostics and effective surveillance systems are key components in managing and mitigating these threats.
This Topic Collection aims to bring together cutting-edge research, comprehensive reviews, and innovative methodologies in the field of plant disease diagnostics and surveillance. Contributions to this Topical Collection highlight recent advances in diagnostic techniques, epidemiological studies, and surveillance strategies to enhance plant protection efforts. It will cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Development and application of plant disease diagnostic tools.
- Application of remote sensing and imaging technologies in plant disease detection.
- Epidemiological modeling and data analytics for disease forecasting and surveillance.
- Integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in plant disease diagnostics.
- Case studies on the successful implementation of surveillance systems in different agricultural settings.
- Effects of climate change on the emergence and spread of plant diseases.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
