Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (MPMI) is the groundbreaking journal for publication of original, refereed research on the molecular biology and molecular genetics of pathological, symbiotic, and associative interactions of microbes with plants and insects with plants. MPMI publishes both fundamental and advanced applied research. In MPMI, "microbe" encompasses viruses, viroids, prokaryotes, fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, and insects. The term "molecular biology" includes studies on biochemical or biophysical mechanisms, genetics, genomics, and advanced microscopy. Molecular analysis of relevant factors in the plant alone, the microbe alone, or molecular analysis of components that affect or modulate plant-microbe interactions may be the subject of an MPMI paper.
Although most research papers report original, in-depth research, the journal also publishes short reviews that focus on rapidly developing areas of the molecular aspects of plant-microbe interactions. Now in its 19th year, MPMI covers the fastest growing area of plant pathology research.
The online version of MPMI includes e-Xtras that provide supplemental material in tables and/or as additional figures and photos as well as color versions of illustrations that show in black and white in the print journals.
