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 Challenge 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.
