Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology provides an International forum for original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, ultrastructure, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions.
Papers on all kinds of infective pathogen, including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi, and nematodes, as well as mutualistic organisms such as Rhizobium and mycorrhyzal fungi, are acceptable as long as they have a bearing on the interaction between microbe and plant.
Research Areas Include:
Applications of mutagenesis and recombinant DNA technology to the elucidation of processes involved in host-parasite interactions Genetics of pathogenicity Genetical basis of host recognition Molecular basis of recognition; receptors and exogenous and endogenous elicitors Plasmids and infection processes; tumorigenesis Structure/activity relationships of toxins, sites of action Growth regulators... |
