New Challenges on Plant–Microbe Interactions

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

As we continue to unravel the intricate tapestry of life on Earth, the domain of plant–microbe interactions stands out as a frontier that is ripe with untapped potential and novel discoveries. The symbiotic, commensal, and antagonistic relationships between plants and microorganisms play pivotal roles in ecosystem functioning, agricultural productivity, and human health. In recognition of this dynamic and ever-evolving field, we are excited to announce a Topic on "New Challenges on Plant–Microbe Interactions". We invite you to contribute your groundbreaking research, innovative perspectives, and thought-provoking reviews that address the latest advancements, emerging challenges, and future directions in this fascinating area. Whether you are exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying plant–microbe communication, developing novel strategies for biotic and abiotic resistance in crops, or investigating the impact of microbial communities on plant growth and nutrition, your contributions will be invaluable in advancing our understanding and harnessing the potential of plant–microbe interactions. We look forward to your participation in this exciting endeavor.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
