Phytopathologia Mediterranea is an international journal edited by the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union. The journal’s mission is the promotion of plant health for Mediterranean crops, climate and regions, safe food production, and the transfer of new knowledge on plant diseases and their sustainable management. The journal deals with all areas of plant pathology, including etiology, epidemiology, disease control, biochemical and physiological aspects, and utilization of molecular technologies. All types of plant pathogens are covered, including fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses, and viroids. The journal also gives a special attention to research on mycotoxins, biological and integrated management of plant diseases, and the use of natural substances in disease and weed control. The journal focuses on pathology of Mediterranean crops grown throughout the world.  

Firenze University Press publishes the results of academic research, primarily conducted by the University but also by the national scientific community, and certified by the Scientific Committee that steers its choices, disseminating its products within the academic circuits in Italy and abroad. This is why FUP invests in digital technologies, so that each publication is initially published in electronic version, which may then be paralleled by a paper version.
