About this Research Topic
Vegetables are one of the most crucial foods for humans, being rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, and phytochemicals. However, viruses pose a major threat in vegetable industry as they significantly affect vegetable production and quality, and further affect human health. Vegetable pathogens can affect humans by reducing crop yields. Previous studies reported that the plant viruses can affect the starch and sucrose metabolism, photosynthesis, MAPK signaling pathway, or oxidative phosphorylation pathway of plants and thus inhibit their growth and health. In addition, it is reported that pepper mild mottle virus (PMMOV) may directly affect the metabolic system of humans and further pollute the environments through human feces. A comprehensive understanding of these issues is vital for elucidating the pathogenic mechanisms of viruses, the disease resistance mechanisms of vegetable plants, and their broader impacts on food production and safety, as well as human nutrition and health. Despite significant advancements evolved, there is still much to uncover in this field.
This Research Topic welcomes new scientific inquiries related to the disease resistance research of vegetable plants and the development of novel genetic and biological methods such as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. These methods are employed to screen and identify key pathogenic proteins and target proteins that regulate diseases, analyze the immune mechanisms of vegetable plants against diseases, assess the effects of vegetable viruses on food production and safety, and establish new strategies for ensuring the healthy growth of vegetables and relevant nutrients for human nutrition and health.
The discussion of the Research Topic includes:
• Disease resistance research of vegetable plants
• Development of the novel genetic and biological methods such as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics used to screen and identify key pathogenic proteins and target proteins that regulate diseases
• Analysis of the immune mechanism of vegetable plants against diseases,
• Effect of vegetable virus on food production and safety, eg crop yields
• Establishment of new approaches for protecting the healthy growth of vegetables and relevant nutrients for human nutrition and health, such as development of new crop irrigation and protection methods, new monitoring and detection methods for human health and nutrition, etc.
The Research Topic invites the submission of original research papers, short communications, review articles, and commentaries that focus on novel findings in this domain. It is important to note that as the scientific and technical understanding of these fields evolves, some topics previously deemed in scope may now fall outside of the Research Topic’s scope. Therefore, all submissions should emphasize the novelty and originality of the research carried out.
