An International Journal of The American Phytopathological Society

 

Purpose and Scope:

For nearly 100 years Phytopathology has been considered the premier international archival journal for publication of articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Subject areas include bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. In addition to research articles, mini-reviews provide up-to-date summaries of recent advances in the science.
 

Phytopathology ranked first for impact on research and teaching efforts in the crop sciences according to The Literature of Crop Science, a project published by Cornell University Press.
 

The online version of Phytopathology includes e-Xtra articles that provide supplemental data tables and additional figures and photos as well as color versions of illustrations show in black and white in the print journals.
 

Intended Readership:

Botanists, plant pathologists, horticulturists, agronomists, entomologists, physiologists, nematologists, bacteriologists, biochemists, biologists, cell biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, mycologists, seed pathologists, and virologists.
