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 and metabolic regulation
• Molecular biology of enzyme systems involved in infection processes
• Cell wall modifications and resistance
to infection
• Molecular biology of phytoalexins and other secondary metabolites of the host and their roles in resistance
• Predisposition and induced susceptibility
• Transport of organic and inorganic nutrients in the infected plant;
source-sink relationships
