Rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae), Bacterial blight, false smut (Ustilaginoidea virens), and Sheath blight are among the most devastating diseases threatening rice crops.
Frontiers' Research Topics are collaborative hubs built around emerging themes, led by renowned researchers to stimulate collaboration and innovation.
The goal of Frontiers' publishing program is to empower research communities to steer the course of scientific publishing.
Our program was implemented as a three-part unit with fixed field journals, flexible specialty sections, and dynamically emerging Research Topics, connecting communities of different sizes and maturity.
