|  Sharing your work in MPMI, the IS-MPMI society journal, builds and strengthens our international community. Because MPMI is a gold open access journal, publishing in it means your work can be read by anyone with an Internet connection, anywhere, for free. Publishing in MPMI also contributes to the IS-MPMI mission of investing in early-career scientists and members of groups historically underrepresented in science. MPMI articles can be found by anyone using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, or Google Scholar. On average, authors submitting to MPMI receive a decision less than one month from the date of submission. What's New in MPMI Virtual Seminars offer authors of trending papers the opportunity to engage live with readers, and the IS-MPMI quarterly newsletter, Interactions, regularly publishes MPMI first-author interviews to provide visibility to early-career scientists from diverse backgrounds. The list of benefits goes on! Back in the day, we used to flip open our favorite journals and scan the table of contents for papers that interested us. Now, we use content alerts and social media to find what's new and exciting. I still scan the MPMI table of contents of every issue, however, and there is always something in which I'm interested. I hope you find your next paper in an MPMI table of contents soon! Adam Bogdanove

Phytophthora infestans RxLR Effector PITG06478 Hijacks 14-3-3 to Suppress PMA Activity Leading to Necrotrophic Cell Death Pathogens often induce cell death to successfully proliferate in the host plant. Plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PMAs) are targeted by either pathogens or plant immune receptors in immune response regulation. Although PMAs play pivotal roles in host cell death, the molecular mechanism of effector-mediated regulation of PMA activity has not been described. In this year's MPMI Best Student Paper Award-winning article, Ye-Eun Seo et al. report that the Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector PITG06478 can induce cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana, but the induced cell death is inhibited by fusicoccin (FC), an irreversible PMA activator.
Honorable Mentions
 Grapevine Fanleaf Virus RNA1-Encoded Proteins 1A and 1BHel Suppress RNA Silencing
Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) (genus Nepovirus, family Secoviridae) causes fanleaf degeneration, one of the most damaging viral diseases of grapevines. Despite the substantial advances made in deciphering GFLV-host interactions, how this virus overcomes the host antiviral pathways of RNA silencing is still poorly understood. In this study, Jiyeong Choi et al. identified viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) encoded by GFLV, using fluorescence assays, and tested their capacity to modify host gene expression in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (EGFP).
 A Coculture of Enterobacter and Comamonas Species Reduces Cadmium Accumulation in Rice
The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in plants is strongly impacted by soil microbes, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, Xing Wang et al. report the mechanism of reduced Cd accumulation in rice by coculture of Enterobacter and Comamonas species. In pot experiments, inoculation with the coculture decreased Cd content in rice grain, immobilized Cd in soils, and enhanced soil nutrients and enzyme activities. The coculture also colonized the rice rhizosphere, activated defense responses, and regulated Cd uptake and efflux in rice, suggesting it protects rice against Cd stress.

|  Despite recent advances in molecular tools and genome sequencing, cereal crop diseases remain a significant challenge to global food security. Yield losses each year from fungi, bacteria, oomycete, viruses, and nematodes need substantial economic investment and impact the world's poorest populations disproportionately. Climate change exacerbates the problem, altering pathogen ranges, allowing the spread of existing plant diseases into new growing areas while facilitating the emergence of new pathogenic strains. Global trade compounds the challenge of pathogen spread. Thus, there is a pressing need for a detailed understanding of the biology of cereal crop diseases, with an expectation that this will identify plant strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited to safeguard grain sources. In this MPMI Focus Issue, we seek to draw together, through reviews and original research papers, the contemporary developments in understanding staple cereal crops and their pathogens. We encourage papers focused on pathogen, host biology, or both. Investigations should be at the molecular, cellular, and/or genomic level and may include studies of effector function and evolution, plant receptors, and pathogen physiology, as well as signal transduction. Both the topic and pathosystem of study are intended to be broad in order to best capture this important field of study. Our goal is that this issue will highlight potential solutions and significant breakthroughs in cereal crop disease research, as well as identify important knowledge gaps, that will guide future studies and ultimately foster the implementation of meaningful management practices. Focus Issue Editors Lida Derevnina, Ksenia Krasileva, Benjamin Schwessinger, and Richard Wilson look forward to receiving your manuscripts addressing this globally important research area. Submission Deadline: September 30, 2024 Submit a Manuscript | Instructions to Authors
Benefits to AuthorsA Focus Issue offers authors several benefits. A single-topic issue gives scientists an opportunity to publish alongside the related work of their peers to highlight progress in a focal area. This MPMI Focus Issue will be widely promoted and is expected to be highly cited, giving authors maximum exposure. Papers will be submitted to Crossref, allowing citation tracking and connectivity as this research area moves forward in MPMI and other scientific journals. MPMI is indexed by PubMed, Web of Science, AGRICOLA, and Scopus, and all content is open access for readers. MPMI is approved by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and meets gold open access grant funding requirements. If you are working on research described herein, submit your manuscript to MPMI and select "Focus Issue" as the article type.

Zitong Yang, Gan Ai, Xinyu Lu, Yuke Li, Jinlu Miao, Wen Song, Heng Xu, Jinding Liu, Danyu Shen, and Daolong Dou Yang et al. show how the Phytophthora sojae effector PsCRN108 suppresses plant immunity by inhibiting the expression of Heat Shock Protein (HSP) family genes, including NbHSP40, through interaction with NbCAMTA2, a negative regulator of plant immunity, shedding light on a new mechanism by which CRN effectors manipulate transcription factors to impact immunity.
