The Top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology

Ralph A. Dean, J.A.L. van Kan, Z. A. Pretorius et al. · 4 Apr 2012

The aim of this review was to survey all fungal pathologists with an association with the journal Molecular Plant Pathology and ask them to nominate which fungal pathogens they would place in a 'Top 10' based on scientific/economic importance. The survey generated 495 votes from the international community, and resulted in the generation of a…

Top 10 plant pathogenic bacteria in molecular plant pathology

John W. Mansfıeld, Stéphane Genin, Shimpei Magori et al. · 5 Jun 2012

Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list exists. The aim of this review was to survey all bacterial pathologists with an association with the journal Molecular Plant Pathology and ask them to…

Top 10 plant‐parasitic nematodes in molecular plant pathology

John T. Jones, Annelies Haegeman, Étienne Danchin et al. · 1 Jul 2013

The aim of this review was to undertake a survey of researchers working with plant-parasitic nematodes in order to determine a 'top 10' list of these pathogens based on scientific and economic importance. Any such list will not be definitive as economic importance will vary depending on the region of the world in which a…

<i>Botrytis cinerea</i> : the cause of grey mould disease

B. Williamson, Bettina Tudzynski, Paul Tudzynski et al. · 23 Jul 2007

INTRODUCTION: Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana) is an airborne plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide. Although there are fungicides for its control, many classes of fungicides have failed due to its genetic plasticity. It has become an important model for molecular study of necrotrophic fungi. TAXONOMY: Kingdom: Fungi, phylum:…

The phenylpropanoid pathway and plant defence—a genomics perspective

Richard A. Dixon, Lahoucine Achnine, Parvathi Kota et al. · 30 Aug 2002

Summary The functions of phenylpropanoid compounds in plant defence range from preformed or inducible physical and chemical barriers against infection to signal molecules involved in local and systemic signalling for defence gene induction. Defensive functions are not restricted to a particular class of phenylpropanoid compound, but are found in the simple hydroxycinnamic acids and monolignols…

Molecular Plant Pathology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Molecular Plant Pathology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Molecular Plant Pathology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Molecular Plant Pathology use?
Molecular Plant Pathology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Molecular Plant Pathology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Molecular Plant Pathology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Molecular Plant Pathology 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 Molecular Plant Pathology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Molecular Plant Pathology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
