Aims and Objectives
The Phytopathogenic Mollicutes journal aims to:
- Provide a platform for researchers to share their findings and expertise in the field of phloem limited parasitic microorganism.
- Promote interdisciplinary research and collaboration among plant pathologists and plant protection professionals.
- Foster the development of new molecular tools for identification of phloem limited microorganisms.
- Whole genome sequence information
- Novel management approaches.
Scope:
Phytopathogenic Mollicutes journal is a half yearly official publication of the Technology Society of Basic & Applied Sciences (TSBAS), which will promote the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas in recent researches on phytoplasma, spiroplasma and other “phloem-limited plant pathogens”.
The journal is unique of its kind because no journal in the world is available which covers all aspects of mollicutes viz: characterization, diseases, management, pathogen genes and genomes, taxonomy, evolution, host parasite interaction, transmission, vectors, epidemiology. This journal is being published by Indianjournals.com. The Phytopathogenic Mollicutes is planned with every aim to provide a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous development in the basic and applied research on mollicutes. Interdisciplinary studies of fundamental problems on the subject are given high priority. The structure of the journal takes into account the broad scope of R&D in phytopathogenic mollicutes research. Thus in addition to its full length and short papers on original research, the journal also includes regular features on editorial, review articles, meetings, scientific correspondence, new developments, current references on the subject from other sources and book reviews.
Journal Focus:
The journal invites original research articles, reviews, and short communications on the following topics related to phytoplasmas, spiroplasmas, citrus greening bacterium and Candidatus species
- Identification and Characterization
- Biology
- Taxonomy
- Epidemiology
- Losses
- Transmission
- Genomics and Transcriptomics
- Host Pathogen interactions
- Management
Future Perspective:
The journal’s target audience includes:
- Researchers and scientists in the fields of botany, plant pathology, microbiology and agriculture.
- Horticulture owner and scientist
- Agriculture Industry professionals
- Regulatory agencies and policymakers
By covering a unique group of phloem limited microorganisms, the Phytopathogenic Mollicutes journal aims to become a leading publication in the plant pathology field, providing valuable insights and latest development information to researchers, nursery, farmers and plant protection industry professionals worldwide.
Covered Subject Area:
Phytoplasmas, Spriroplasmas, Citrus greening bacterium, Candidatus species, Taxonomy, Culturing, Identification, Molecular characterization, Biotechnology, Molecular biology, Epidemiology, Genomics, Host-pathogen-insect interactions, Management
