Scriptoria’s crop research platform, AgShare.Today, has contributed to a special issue of the internationally renowned Elsevier journal Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (PMPP). AgShare.Today, a $3 million programme funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, collaborated with the Gender-responsive Researchers Equipped for Agricultural Transformation (GREAT) programme, to develop the special issue on crop pathology in Africa. Of the 13 articles featured, 7 were written by researchers from projects supported by Scriptoria’s AgShare.Today team, reflecting the initiative’s commitment to helping crop scientists publish their research in high-impact international journals.

This special issue presents a unique opportunity to bring together and showcase at an international level the important research conducted by AgShare.Today’s project partners. The articles cover a range of topics, from evaluations of farming practices in sub-Saharan Africa to analyses of diseases affecting cassava, yam, sweet potato and banana yields.

As with all AgShare.Today-supported research articles, the papers published in the special issue are open access and available to all via sciencedirect.com.

The AgShare.Today team is grateful to Elsevier, the GREAT programme and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for their support throughout the production process.
