WRKY transcription factors: evolution, binding, and action

Xujun Chen, Cheng Li, Han Wang et al. · 15 Apr 2019

The WRKY transcription factor (TF) gene family expanded greatly in the evolutionary process from green algae to flowering plants through whole genome, segmental, and tandem duplications. Genomic sequences from diverse plant species provide valuable information about the origin and evolution of WRKY domain-containing proteins. Accumulating data indicate that WRKY TFs bind W-box and/or other cis…

From visual estimates to fully automated sensor-based measurements of plant disease severity: status and challenges for improving accuracy

Clive H. Bock, Jayme Garcia Arnal Barbedo, Emerson M. Del Ponte et al. · 26 Apr 2020

Abstract The severity of plant diseases, traditionally the proportion of the plant tissue exhibiting symptoms, is a key quantitative variable to know for many diseases and is prone to error. Good quality disease severity data should be accurate (close to the true value). Earliest quantification of disease severity was by visual estimates. Sensor-based image analysis…

NAC transcription factors in plant immunity

Xi Yuan, Hui Wang, Jiating Cai et al. · 16 Jan 2019

The NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) family is one of the largest plant-specific transcription factor (TF) families. Members of this family are implicated in plant growth, development and stress responses. Recent functional studies demonstrate that a number of NAC TFs function as positive or negative regulators of plant immunity to biotrophic, hemibiotrophic or necotrophic pathogens,…

The overlapping continuum of host range among strains in the Pseudomonas syringae complex

Cindy E. Morris, Jay Ram Lamichhane, Ivan Nikolić et al. · 15 Jan 2019

Pseudomonas syringae is the most frequently emerging group of plant pathogenic bacteria. Because this bacterium is ubiquitous as an epiphyte and on various substrates in non-agricultural settings, there are many questions about how to assess the risk for plant disease posed by strains in the environment. Although P. syringae is considered to have discrete host…

Fighting wheat rusts in China: a look back and into the future

Jie Zhao, Zhensheng Kang · 14 Feb 2023

Abstract Wheat rusts, including stripe, leaf, and stem rusts, are severe wheat diseases and cause huge yield loss in China annually. Benefiting from utilizing the genetic resistance wheat varieties, wheat stem rust has been effectively controlled since the 1970s; however, the wheat stripe and leaf rusts are still threating the wheat production in China due…

Phytopathology Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Phytopathology Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Phytopathology Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Phytopathology Research use?
Phytopathology Research uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Phytopathology Research. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Phytopathology Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Phytopathology Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Phytopathology Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Phytopathology Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Phytopathology Research?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Phytopathology Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Phytopathology Research template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Phytopathology Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Phytopathology Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Phytopathology Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
