Plant-Microbe-Insect Interactions

Dear Colleagues,

Microbes regulate the "insect–plant" interaction by influencing host insects and can also shape the interaction between the two by changing plant physiological characteristics. The successful analysis of the microbe-mediated "insect–plant" interaction is helpful to target the development of novel and efficient insecticidal strategies. At present, with the continuous development of omics technology, the functions of . Through the study of microbe–insect–plant interaction model, the interaction mechanisms of microbes, insects, and plants will be further revealed, the understanding of insect adaptability mechanisms will be deepened, and the research and development of new pest control and target technologies will be promoted.

In this Special Issue, we welcome articles within (but not limited to) the following broad themes:

• Plant–microbe–insect interactions
• Plant defense
• Insects
• Pest control
• Microbiology

Reviews and original research articles are welcome.
