Correction to: Brassicaceae Fungi and Chromista Diseases: Molecular Detection and Host–Plant Interaction (Plants, (2023), 12, 5, (1033), 10.3390/plants12051033)

Abstract

The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]: In the article titled: “Brassicaceae Fungal Diseases: Molecular Detection and Host–Plant Interaction”. It would be better to modify the title and the keyword and also add a few sentences in the text where some pathogens are wrongly defined as fungi, but they belong to the Chromista Kingdom and/or Oomycota Phylum. There was only a problem with taxonomic aspects, and the changes regard only the systematics. Therefore, we would like to change the Title: “Brassicaceae Fungi and Chromista Diseases: Molecular Detection and Host–Plant Interaction”. In the keywords: Instead of “Brassicaceae fungal diseases”, we will keep only the words “Brassicaceae diseases”. A few sentences were adjusted in the text in the following part: 1. Introduction: However, white rust, clubroot, downy mildew, and damping-off represent the most destructive Chromista diseases of Brassicaceae [8]. 2.3. Downy Mildew: It is an obligate biotrophic parasite of Brassicaceae and allied families of Brassicales, including many relevant crops such as broccoli, cabbage, radish, and rape [71]. 2.4. Clubroot Disease: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a worldwide soil-borne obligate parasite primarily affecting the Brassicaceae species [73,74]. P. brassicae is distinct from other plant pathogens, such as fungi or oomycetes [75,76]. 2.9. White Rust: It is actually considered as a member of the Oomycetes belonging to the family Albuginaceae included in the Kingdom Chromista. They are a group of organisms that are more closely related to golden-brown algae than they are to fungi. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
