Bacterial Diseases in Vegetable Crops

Unveiling Novel Management Strategies and Underlying Action Mechanisms Bacterial pathogens cause destructive plant diseases that primarily affects a wide range of economically important crops, including various vegetable crops. These disease are known for their ability to rapidly spread and cause significant damage to plants, often leading to yield losses and even crop failure. This “Topical Collection” seeks to bring together cutting-edge research, novel findings, and practical applications related to the management of bacterial diseases in vegetable crops. By shedding light on the intricate action mechanisms of the disease and introducing breakthrough management strategies, we aim to empower horticulturists, plant pathologists, and researchers to effectively combat bacterial diseases and promote the growth and vitality of vegetable crops.
