Plant Pathology Metadata Guidance

Focus on host species, pathogen species, isolate identifiers, inoculation design, disease scoring, and sampling timepoints.

Prefer metadata that helps FAIR-DS package selection:

• host organism / NCBI taxonomy
• pathogen organism / isolate
• plant tissue or organ sampled
• inoculation method and biosafety notes
• assay platform and replicate structure
