Abstract: In 2024, Chinese researchers have made significant progress in the taxonomy and molecular systematics of forest pathogens, pathogenesis mechanisms of forest diseases, interactions between trees and pathogens, and integrated management of forest diseases. They are as follows: identifying causal agents of new forest diseases and established 1 new family, 4 new genera, and more than 200 new species; characterizing key virulence factors and their regulatory network of important forest pathogens; revealing the molecular interactions between forest trees and pathogens; providing new control measurements for forest tree diseases. This paper search and analyze the publications and briefly reviews the key research advances in taxonomy of forest pathogens, pathogenic mechanism and integrated management by Chinese researchers in 2024. This review will help us understand trends in forest pathology and think about how to better meet the major national strategic demands and enhance our capacity for original innovation in scientific researches and technical service.
