Aims and Scope

Overview

PhytoMycology is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing high-quality research on plants, fungi, and their interactions across diverse environments.

The journal publishes original studies and reviews addressing plant and fungal physiology, genetics, development, evolution, ecology, and applications for agriculture, biotechnology, and industry.

By integrating plant science, mycology, plant pathology, microbial ecology, and systems biology, the journal provides a platform for understanding plant-fungus biology from molecular mechanisms to ecosystem processes.

Scope of the Journal

PhytoMycology welcomes high-quality original research and reviews in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Fundamental Plant and Fungal Biology: physiology, development, cell biology, and functional genomics.
• Plant-Fungus Interactions and Symbioses: molecular, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives on beneficial and pathogenic relationships.
• Ecology and Ecosystem Functions: roles of plants and fungi in community dynamics, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem resilience.
• Evolution, Diversity, and Systematics: taxonomy, phylogenetics, and population biology of plants and fungi.
• Molecular Breeding and Genome Engineering: advancing plant and fungal traits through genetic and biotechnological innovation.
• Biotechnology and Industrial Applications: fermentation, bioactive compounds, sustainable bio-manufacturing, and applied microbiology.
• Genomics and Multi-Omics Approaches: integrative studies using genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
• Innovative Analytical and Computational Tools: bioinformatics, data science, and AI-based methods enabling plant and fungal research.
