Plant disease outbreaks have greatly reduced crop yields and significantly affect global food security in the recent years. Deep understanding of plant-microbe interactions is critical for developing novel strategies for disease control and reducing crop losses.
Drs. Guo-Liang Wang, Wende Liu and Suomeng Dong are organizing a special issue on Plant-Microbe Interactions for aBIOTECH.
Submission deadline: November 1, 2023
