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 an emerging theme, defined, managed, and led by renowned researchers.
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.
The goal of Frontiers' publishing program is to empower research communities to actively steer the course of scientific publishing.
