About

A large number of fungi and oomycetes are of industrial and agricultural importance. On one hand, fungi and oomycetes are among the dominant causal agents of plant diseases, on the other hand, fungi or oomycetes as biological control agents of pathogens and pests have attracted much attention. Our understanding of the diversity, host range and specificity of fungi and oomycetes has improved with the enrichment of knowledge about the taxonomy and phylogeny over the years, however, many unknowns remain.
Fungi and oomycetes genomes are easily obtained, which have been used as models for genome evolution and the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationship using genome-scale data. In these models, groundbreaking comparative genomic studies making use of these features have already been published. These breakthroughs are leading the way in fungi and oomycetes research
The aim of this Research Topic is to collect articles concentrating on the biodiversity, molecular systematics, and taxonomy of fungi and oomycetes all over the world. Besides, approaches to the diagnosis of fungal and oomycete plant diseases, including advances in the field of molecular diagnosis of fungi and oomycetes, are welcome to be discussed in this topic. Research involving diagnostic techniques should demonstrate the added value to diagnostic accuracy and time.
For these above reasons, we sincerely encourage experts and researchers to contribute original research articles, reviews, and communications that address the following topics:
1. Phylogeny and diversity of fungi and oomycetes.
2. Morphological and molecular characterization of plant pathogens.
3. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenomics data analyses.
4. Molecular diagnostics of fungi and oomycetes.
