PhytoFrontiers will be the sixth APS journal. This new journal will be led by Nik Gr nwald, who will serve as editor-in-chief . Journal aimed at publishing high quality original research articles, methods, techniques and evaluation reports, critical reviews, short . Aflatoxin contamination not only reduces the value of the produce but also is a health hazard to humans and animals. I was most honored to serve as senior editor and editor-in-chief of Phytopathology and subsequently as a 2-term chair of the APS Publications Board. PhytoFrontiers September 9, 2022 Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) and red blotch disease (RBD) threaten the sustainability of the U.S. wine grape industry. Economic factors were the fundamental cost of implementing management practices and the ability to sell product from diseased vines (salability). Focus sections highlight papers from a particular field accompanied by a review. Among the important attributes for a diagnostic laboratory are the technologies and methods used and the number and types of samples that the laboratory can process. As part of a larger whole genome sequencing effort, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence was obtained for the PAR3 strain. We propose that investments continue to be made in the development of high throughput, pre-screening detection methods like HTS and PCR assays, but together with direct methods that enable accurate assessment of the risks involved when target pathogens are detected using indirect methods. The ability to minimize negative economic, environmental, or productivity impacts to plant systems caused by recurrent and emerging pathogens and pests, depends upon the early detection and accurate identification of those pests and pathogens. Research papers report original, in-depth research. In each pair, one potted plant was covered with exclusion nets prior to being taken to the field and the other was left uncovered. H2O2 production showed a biphasic transient pattern with an initial increase at 1-hour post Xcm-inoculation (hpi), followed by a decline 3-6hpi and then a second increase by 12hpi. International Scientific Journal & Country Ranking. There are several reasons why APS needs another journal. In the Netherlands, tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV; genus Tobamovirus) was first identified in tomato crops in 2019. Q. I believe this journal will be very appealing to our graduate students and postdocs as well as seasoned APS authors that send papers outside of the APS family of journals for lack of scope. Agronomists, bacteriologists, biochemists, biologists, botanists, cell biologists, chemists, ecologists, entomologists, foresters, geneticists, horticulturists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, mycologists, nematologists, plant pathologists, plant physiologists, seed pathologists, soil scientists, virologists, and weed scientists. Technical Advances describe in detail an innovative experimental technique and its uses. With its broad plant health scope, PhytoFrontiers is a new venue for those who wish to publish research that was previously out of scope of the existing APS journals. Pistachio Bushy Top Syndrome (PBTS) is a serious problem for pistachio growers in the western U.S. but the cause of this disorder remains controversial. There are three main features distinguishing, An APS Journals Task Force, comprised of editors-in-chiefs past and present, recommended, Another exciting aspect of the journal is its broad scope, said Klosterman. All articles published are made freely and permanently accessible online without subscription charges. The PAR3 mitogenome sequence will provide a useful reference for comparing different Trichoderma strains from US and around the world. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have brought tremendous improvements in the ability to detect plant viruses and have a great potential for application in virus routine diagnostics. To understand the factors influencing. Assessment of the potential threat to eggplant, petunia, and other susceptible species needs further work. Furthermore, some papers are out of scope in our core journals. PhytoFrontiers launched in mid-2020. To identify possible vectors, a variety of traps were used to collect arthropods in both fields during the known infection window. The results point out the need for broad application of standards and rigor in the conception, development, and execution of diagnostic assay validation. The journal covers the following sections: Behavioral, mental, affective, and stress-associated disorders. Our field studies suggest that Iowa and Missouri soybean farmers can use winter rye as a cover crop in soybean fields with low seedling disease pressure without increasing the risk of seedling and root diseases or suppressing yield. The effects of winter rye cover crops (Secale cereale L.) on soybean population, biomass, root morphology, seedling and root diseases, pathogen incidence, canopy reflectance, and yield were assessed over two years in Iowa and Missouri, USA. The table also shows the rank of APS journals in the physiology category (n=81), as well as each journal's cited half-life. PhytoFrontiers. The American Phytopathological Society (APS). Log in to your iThenticate plagiarism detection software account. In each field, ten pairs of potted trap plants were placed under blueberry bushes for two weeks during the known infection window in early spring. Fungal biomass, total accumulated aflatoxins, and expression profiles of genes constituting secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were determined at 24, 30, and 40 h after treatment. The diversity of extracellular proteins and the unique parasitic features of Trichoderma species has resulted in their development as biocontrol agents for numerous plant pathogens. Age-associated disorders. Confidence in the test results generated, and ultimately in the identification rendered, is dependent upon the design and rigor of the validation process for the assay(s) used. The left axis depicts the number of papers published in years X-1 and X-2, and the right axis displays their citations in year X. This report introduces the inclusion of 61 new (near) complete ToBRFV genomes in version three of the Nextstrain build, available from https://nextstrain.nrcnvwa.nl/ToBRFV/20220412. For questions or feedback, please reach us at. Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) recorded its highest-ever Impact Factor at 14.695 ACS Central Science saw its Impact Factor grow to 12.837 ACS Energy Letters, achieved a remarkable second reported Impact Factor of 16.331 Chemical Reviews received its highest Impact Factor ever: 54.301 In this study, we used RNA sequencing to examine the transcriptional profiles of A. flavus treated with both live and heat-inactivated dead Vg and control samples. Next, we compared the limit of detection of our CRISPR-based test with a reference real-time quantitative PCR test widely used, revealing similar sensitivities for both tests. The covered plants developed significantly fewer leaf spots (x=2) than the uncovered plants (x=128), indicating that an agent necessary for infection was excluded. Although we found examples of common genotypes shared between nurseries and orchards, the observed patterns are most consistent with an environmental source of strains and do not support a scenario where individual nurseries are point sources of Rhodococcus. The opinions published in Perspectives reflect the views of the authors and are not necessarily the views of PhytoFrontiers editorial board or APS. Impact factor calculations can measure citations and impact for both individual authors and overall journal publications. Thomson Reuters), 24 Frontiers journals now have Impact Factors, up from 19 last year. Bioassays with spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) and brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) did not show transmission of the disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. lanosoniveum with hyperparasitic characteristics on P. viticola, and the hyperparasite has potential application in the control of grape downy mildew. The PhytoFrontiers editorial board will provide authors robust and helpful peer review, rapid publication, and worldwide distribution through the APS Journals platform. APS is preparing to launch this journal in 2020 and will be positioned to start accepting papers sometime in the coming months. Eleven journals increased their impact factor, and Physiological Reviews retains the top spot in the field of physiology at 24.250 (28,672 citations). Keyword (s): Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic pathogen of oilseed crops such as maize, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts and produces carcinogenic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins during seed colonization. 5 to 10 double-spaced manuscript pages) not including the Abstract and Literature Cited. This additional genomic sequence will enable us to further understand this pathogen and the disease it causes. Finally, the results also underlined the need of expert judgement in the interpretation of the results. To understand factors influencing the adoption of disease management practices, we surveyed wine grape industry professionals in California, Oregon, and Washington (n=154). Click Submit. Mini-Reviews are summations of new information that has emerged in the past 2 to 3 years or since any review was previously published on the topic. Statistically significant reductions in total aflatoxins were detected in Vg-treated samples as compared to control samples at 40 h. But no statistical difference in fungal biomass was observed upon these treatments. Since seeds can be a route for pathogen introduction, they are routinely inspected and tested to prevent pest outbreaks and introduction into new territories. Recently, it was proposed that the Rhodococcus species, R. fascians and R. corynebacterioides caused PBTS outbreaks in 2011 and 2015. ISI was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, and became known as Thomson ISI. 2022 The American Phytopathological Society. To determine if an arthropod is involved in transmission, we conducted arthropod exclusion and trapping studies at two field sites in Georgia from 2018 to 2020. The Journal of Phytopharmacology (2320-480X) is a peer review, open access online research journal and supported by Society of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry (Registration no. Many changes resulted from this approach, such as the introduction of lateral transfer of papers among journals, altmetrics, ORCID IDs, social media sharing, and the launch of Phytobiomes. PhytoFrontiers is an interdisciplinary open-access journal publishing high-quality research covering basic to applied aspects of plant health. All plant science research relevant to plant health will be considered. Read the author guidelines or submit your paper. Who do you think will and should publish in PhytoFrontiers? One of the TA systems found in X. fastidiosa, higBA is transcriptionally expressed at higher levels at 15C than at 28C. The rapid protocol saved time and resources but at the expense of sensitivity. Overall, PhytoFrontiers is a great place for those of us that want to publish rigorous OA research quickly. In fact, we encourage publication of negative results explicitly because the scientific literature is otherwise biased in favor of positive and significant results. The diagnostic sensitivity was very high but false positive results were observed. We envision that metagenomics will accelerate diagnosis, shorten response time to outbreaks caused by unknown microorganisms, and provide more accurate and sustainable management strategies for seed certification programs.

June 15, 2017: With the latest release of the 2016 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) by Clarivate Analytics (f.k.a. 6.656 Impact Factor Phytomedicine is primarily a therapy-oriented Journal. As a tool for management of library journal collections, the impact factor supplies the library administrator with information about journals already in the collection and journals under consideration for acquisition. The performance criteria of an HTS test need therefore to be estimated and compared to traditional virus indexing tests before it can be used in routine diagnostic. It is a measure of the number of times an average paper in a particular journal is cited during the preceding two years. Impact factors began to be calculated yearly starting from 1975 for journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). nwald, who will serve as editor-in-chief, and Steve Klosterman, who will be associate editor-in-chief. The PHYTOFRONTIERS trademark is filed in the Computer & Software Products & Electrical & Scientific Products category with the following description: Downloadable electronic publications, namely, journals and articles in the field of applied plant health for plant health researchers, practitioners and educators . . Another important aspect is that PhytoFrontiers does not judge manuscripts based on perceived impact or significance of results. This has led to a growing number of seed lots being rejected where the risk of introducing a pathogen to importing countries may have been negligible. Core gene and SNP-based phylogenies, and pan-genome analyses differentiate R. fascians into distinct genotypes. These data must also be combined with cost and circulation data to make rational decisions about purchases of journals. However, it still may be useful to confirm ToBRFV detection in samples with incipient symptoms of infection. The PhytoFrontiers editorial board, led by editor-in-chief Nik Grnwald and associate editor-in-chief Steve Klosterman, is pleased to announce the publication of its first paper, "Distinct Arabidopsis responses to two generalist caterpillar species differing in host breadth," which comes from Jacquie Bede's lab at McGill University in Quebec, Canada. This graph shows how the impact factor of PhytoFrontiers is computed. Since then, the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO-NL) has performed surveys to track and trace this regulated virus aiming for its eradication. Leading this effort is Nik Grnwald, a USDA research plant pathologist affiliated with Oregon State University, who is serving as the first editor-in-chief of PhytoFrontiers. Our findings point to organ-specific responses to Xcm infection in bananas. Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500. Previously, we observed inhibition of A. flavus aflatoxin biosynthesis upon exposure to the marine bacterium, Vibrio gazogenes (Vg). Overall, HTS test displayed a better analytical sensitivity compared to RT-PCR and a better inclusivity than the classical indexing protocol, as distant isolates and new viral species were only detected by the HTS test. In conclusion, this study provides a first assessment of the potential phytosanitary risks. This is especially important for emergent plant pathogens such as tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), which overcomes the genetic resistance resources used in tomato breeding against tobamoviruses and has become pandemic in less than a decade. An example of these limitations are the potato diseases soft rot and blackleg, caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species. 3.978 (2020) 5 Year Impact Factor 4.046 (2020) Cite Score 6.0 (2020) H5 Index 39 (2019) Social Media Mentions 793 (2020) Downloads 256,835 (2020) Brain Structure and Function Impact Factor 3.270 (2020) 5 Year Impact Factor 4.093 (2020) Cite Score 6.6 (2020) H5 Index 59 (2019) Social Media Mentions 1,653 (2020) Downloads 458,778 (2020) Submit Author Information Alerts. Cover crops improve soil and water quality in annual cropping systems, but knowledge of their impact on soybean (Glycine max L.) seedling and root diseases is limited. Thus, authors that are required to publish in OA journals, particularly under Plan S, cannot publish in our journals. Two new clades were defined, one of which displayed a rapid increase in comparison to the previous version of the Nextstrain build. Metabolic syndrome and obesity. Nik:There are several reasons why APS needs another journal. Published by The American Phytopathological Society. It looks like your browser does not have JavaScript enabled. S/2042/SDM/NW/2014). The seed certification uses molecular and serological diagnostic methods for stock testing. The need for a fast and accurate diagnosis of PLS came from growers' concerns and the fact that PLS symptoms can be easily confused with leaf spots caused by . To determine the impact factor for a particular journal, select a JCR edition (Science and/ or Social Science), year, and Categories, found on the left of the screen. In experiments with aerated steam treatments of strawberry transplants in Florida, USA, it was shown that 37 C pre-treatment followed by 1 h at ambient temperature and no steam stimulated the. APS currently only publishes one open access (OA) journal, Can you give me examples of studies that can be published in. The 2018 impact factors of APS journals, along with a comparison of the past two years, are given in the table below. PhytoFrontiers will accept any rigorous study about any aspect of plant health. How long have you been a member? In total, Frontiers articles have received more than 700,000 citations to date.. Our journals also have some of the highest citation rates. PhytoFrontiers has a large and highly experienced editorial board. Reviews should be easily accessible to nonspecialist scientists and advanced students. Meeting Reviews synthesize new ideas or concepts emerging from a recent specialized conference, workshop, or other scientific meeting and discuss them in the context of the current knowledge of the field. Salability was a strong driver for adoption among Californian respondents, but lesser so in Washington where wineries appeared more willing to accept infected product. Read! All plant science research relevant to plant health will be considered. Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic pathogen of oilseed crops such as maize, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts and produces carcinogenic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins during seed colonization. It looks like your browser does not have JavaScript enabled. Repeatability and reproducibility of virus detection were both of 100% although differences in number of sequencing reads per virus were observed between replicates. For example: A = the number of times articles published in a specific journal in 2014 and 2015 were cited by journals during 2016. In many bacterial species, type II TA systems are associated with bacterial stress survival under various detrimental environmental conditions, as well as influencing disease associated phenotypes such as biofilm development and expression of virulence factors. Some examples of studies that often are out of scope include: aerobiology of spores; phylogenetics and evolution of microbes; applications of robotics, artificial intelligence, and internet of things to plant health; interface of food safety and plant health; host plant resistance and molecular breeding; social and economic aspects of plant health; genomics, proteomics and metabolomics of microbes; abiotic impacts on plant health; and any other topics nottraditionallyconsidered by our core journals. While the molecular assays available are well-validated and offer high sensitivity, the rapidly evolving pathogens they target routinely develop mutations that allow them to evade detection. The Vg treatments were most effective on aflatoxin biosynthesis as was reflected in significant downregulation of majority of the genes in the aflatoxin gene cluster including the aflatoxin pathway regulator gene, aflR. Nik:Some examples of studies that often are out of scope include: aerobiology of spores; phylogenetics and evolution of microbes; applications of robotics, artificial intelligence, and internet of things to plant health; interface of food safety and plant health; host plant resistance and molecular breeding; social and economic aspects of plant health; genomics, proteomics and metabolomics of microbes; abiotic impacts on plant health; and any other topics nottraditionallyconsidered by our core journals. This article type is encouraged for time-sensitive papers that will likely stimulate new research in the field; preliminary or incremental reports are not appropriate. Herein, a Trichoderma harzianum strain PAR3 was isolated from grapevine roots in central California, USA. Suggested length is up to 6,000 words (ca. I think all colleagues interested in rapid, open access publishing in the larger plant health community. If there are any problems, here are some of our suggestions Top Results For Open Access Journal Publishers Updated 1 hour ago www.omicsonline.org Since 2017, a new Neopestalotiopsis sp. We propose metagenome sequencing usage to enhance the diagnostic capabilities and complement molecular epidemiology approaches. Phytomedicine Plus favors herbal medicinal products with evidence-based therapeutic efficacy, but not dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. The ScienceGate team tries to make research easier by managing and providing several unique services gathered in a web platform. The genomic complexity of B. glumae warrants the sequencing of additional strains. The levels of Xcm-induced H2O2 and callose were highest in the pseudostems and corms, respectively, and were independent of host susceptibility or resistance to BXW. The American Phytopathological Society (APS), At the end of February, the APS Publications Board met to discuss, , the newest APS journal, This new journal will be led by Nik. Hence, we examined PTI responses such as callose deposition and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in different organs in response to Xcm infection in BXW susceptible Kayinja and Mbwazirume banana cultivars and wild resistant progenitor Musa balbisiana. ISSN: 2690-5442. Close collaboration between molecular scientists and classical phytopathologists is essential. The seed industry uses them as pre-screen to identify healthy seed lots, and in combination with classical methods, commonly called direct tests, to confirm viability of the target pathogen and demonstrate its pathogenicity. At least five measurements were obtained at 7- to 15- day intervals, ending at 120 to 125 DAP. The external alien control, a wheat sample infected by BYDV, monitored the contamination burden and determined an adaptative detection threshold. I have also been a member of Council and several boards. Regulatory agencies and diagnostic clinics do not often have fully validated assays to deploy during an outbreak of a novel pathogen. A previously unknown association between Plasmopara viticola, the causal pathogen of grape downy mildew, and the mycoparasite strain F2 was described in this paper. Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100. The 2021 impact factor of PhytoFrontiers is , making it among the top 60% journals. Screening numerous biological features is important to the selection and development of promising microbial-based biocontrol agents; however, determining the presence or absence of individual parasitic-associated genes may lead to selective biases if relied upon during the initial screening phase. We recovered E. maculosum from one gall midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) and detected it in three additional insects by PCR. At the end of February, the APS Publications Board met to discuss PhytoFrontiers , the newest APS journal, an interdisciplinary open-access journal that will publish high-quality, rigorous research covering basic to applied aspects of plant health. Neuropharmacology. This rapid increase could be attributed to the unauthorized application of an isolate of ToBRFV as a cross-protection product. These diseases are challenging for current diagnostics tools because of high pathogen genomic variability, identical symptom development, and co-infections. What leadership roles have you held? an interdisciplinary open-access journal that will publish high-quality, rigorous research covering basic to applied aspects of plant health. After signal detection in ELISA or PCR assay a seed lot is a suspect lot that requires further investigation for final conclusion about the health status of the seed lot since these tests do not provide any information about pathogen viability or pathogenicity. Examples are molecular and serological techniques, such as ELISA and PCR assays, which are commonly called indirect assays. Trichoderma are ubiquitous soil-inhabiting fungi that produce numerous extracellular proteins critical to saprophytic, mutualistic, and mycoparasitic lifestyles. See all Copyright/License Options. The described analyses will provide a trialed approach used to select a promising Trichoderma biocontrol agent. Let me give you a short tutorial.
