Plant Disease is the leading international journal for rapid reporting of research on new, emerging, and established plant diseases. The journal publishes papers that describe translational and applied research focusing on practical aspects of disease diagnosis, development, and management.ScopePapers submitted for publication in Plant Disease must report original research that provides new insights into plant disease etiology, epidemiology, and/or disease management. The research must be hypothesis-driven and present novel biological insights that enhance our understanding and/or management of plant disease. The significance of the research and its relevance to published research must be clearly stated.Intended ReadershipAgronomists, bacteriologists, biochemists, biologists, botanists, cell biologists, chemists, ecologists, entomologists, foresters, geneticists, horticulturists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, mycologists, nematologists, plant pathologists, plant physiologists, seed pathologists, soil scientists, virologists, and weed scientists.

《植物病害》是國際領先的快速報道植物新病害、新出現(xiàn)病害和已建立病害研究的期刊。該雜志發(fā)表的論文描述了轉化和應用研究，側重于疾病診斷、發(fā)展和管理的實際方面。范圍提交給《植物病害》雜志發(fā)表的論文必須報告對植物病害病因學、流行病學和/或病害管理提供新見解的原始研究。這項研究必須是假設驅動的，并提出新的生物學見解，增強我們對植物病害的理解和/或管理。必須清楚說明研究的意義及其與已發(fā)表研究的相關性。預期讀者農學家、細菌學家、生物學家、植物學家、細胞生物學家、化學家、生態(tài)學家、昆蟲學家、森林學家、遺傳學家、園藝學家、微生物學家、分子生物學家、真菌學家、線蟲學家、植物病理學家、植物生理學家、種子病理學家、土壤學家、病毒學家和雜草學家。
