Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obligate plant pathogenic parasites represent a major restrictive factor in agriculture production and cause huge annual yield losses globally. Applied and basic research efforts have focused on, and made great progress in, identifying effective infection control practices to minimize the spread of pathogenic parasites, and reduce the damage they cause, such as nematodes, viruses, bacteria and fungi. These research efforts have also aimed to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between pathogenic parasites and host plants, to identify resistant targets for infection prevention at the genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, etc., levels.
This Special Issue of Plants welcomes manuscript submissions that address plant–obligate pathogenic parasite interactions, plant resistance against pathogenic parasites, plant disease resistance genes, and disease resistance mechanisms, as well as diagnostic technologies and integrated management strategies to prevent and control plant obligate pathogenic parasites, including biocontrol agents and the rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic parasites for disease forecasting, and prevention and control.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. 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.
