Key Discoveries in Plant Pathology—A Special Phytopathology Issue

​Drawing from the results of a survey conducted by APS in 2022, the editorial board of Phytopathology invited top experts from relevant fields to review the discovery process, impacts, recent progress, and future direction of some of the highest ranked discoveries in plant pathology. These review articles, published in a special issue of Phytopathology, not only describe the discovery process leading to the current state-of-the-art, but also highlight their scientific and/or practical impacts within the scientific community and among plant disease managers.
