 To both refine and broaden the mission of
MPMI, Editor-in-Chief
Tim Friesen and his editorial board have revised the
journal's overview, scope, and newly acceptable content. New Overview
Molecular Plant–Microbe Interactions (MPMI) publishes peer-reviewed fundamental and advanced applied research on the genetics, genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of pathological, symbiotic, and associative interactions of microbes, insects, nematodes, or parasitic plants with plants. New Scope
MPMI publishes cutting-edge research that investigates the molecular mechanisms of plant interactions with other organisms, including pathogens, pests, and beneficial microbes. The journal communicates novel findings that significantly advance our molecular and cellular understanding of these plant-associated interactions.
New Acceptable Content for
MPMI
- Molecular and cell biological analysis of relevant factors involving the plant-associated organism or the plant alone or molecular analysis of components that affect or modulate plant–microbe interaction
- Genetic analysis (fundamental or applied) that advances knowledge of plant and/or plant-associated organism interactions
- Molecular evolution and molecular ecology of interactions between plants and other organisms
- Comparative genomics of organisms associated with a plant–microbe interaction
- Research addressing molecular aspects of symbiotic and associative relationships with plants
- Spatial and temporal analyses of the cell biology of plant–microbe interactions, including studies focused on light and/or electron microscopy
- Technical advances (methodological), if they report important novel advances in technology for studying the molecular aspects of plant–microbe interactions mentioned above

 Effectors are central to determining the complex and dynamic interaction between plants and microbes. Whether those interactions result in the establishment of a beneficial or negative interaction, effectors are at the interface of any plant–microbe interaction. Despite their role as mediators of plant–microbe interactions, gaining a full understanding of the biology and evolution of these intriguing molecules has been a challenging task. This
MPMI Focus Issue will present the latest developments in the study of microbial effector biology and evolution in the context of plant immunity across diverse systems. As the scientific community seeks to respond to global challenges in agriculture and food production, we wish to highlight potential solutions and technologies emerging from research in microbial effectors. We invite research and review articles that explore the complex role of effectors in molecular plant–microbe interactions. Articles highlighting translational research, as well as fundamental understanding, are welcome. We look forward to assembling an issue that features the excellent research in this area! 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. The Effectors at the Interface of Plant–Microbe Interactions
MPMI Focus Issue will be widely promoted and is expected to be highly cited, giving authors maximum exposure. Articles will be submitted to Crossref, allowing citation tracking and connectivity as this research area moves forward in
MPMI and other scientific journals. If you are working on research described herein, submit your manuscript to
MPMI and select "Focus Issue" as the article type. Please also indicate in your cover letter that you would like your manuscript to be considered for the 2024 Focus Issue. For more information about the scope of this issue, please contact

MPMI proudly presents a
special focus issue addressing the
#2 top unanswered research question identified by the
MPMI scientific community: How do aspects of the abiotic environment affect plant–microbe interactions, and conversely, how do plant–microbe interactions affect host response to abiotic stress? The science presented is crucial to understanding how climate change affects plants on a microbial level and to protecting plant health.

As our climate changes, the rapidity of the changes in temperature and carbon dioxide levels and the many planetary processes that they affect, altering weather patterns and soil salinity among others, make it imperative for us to investigate their effect on plant–microbe interactions. In addition to investigating the effects of each of these stresses singly, these changes prompt us to ask questions of increasing complexity. What happens to plant–microbe interactions in the presence of more than one environmental stress? In the natural world, plants associate with more than one microbe at a time—how does abiotic stress affect interactions within the microbial community to affect plant health? And most importantly, how can we translate this increased understanding of the interactions between plants, microbes, and the environment to the field?
