分子植物-微生物相互作用(MPMI)發(fā)表了同行評(píng)審的基礎(chǔ)和先進(jìn)的應(yīng)用研究，在遺傳學(xué)、基因組學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)、生物化學(xué)和生物物理學(xué)的病理、共生和聯(lián)合作用的微生物、昆蟲(chóng)、線蟲(chóng)或寄生植物與植物。范圍研究應(yīng)著眼于理解植物與其他有機(jī)體相互作用的分子機(jī)制，而不是僅僅描述這種相互作用。在MPMI上發(fā)表的研究必須是新穎的，而不是簡(jiǎn)單地重復(fù)已經(jīng)在其他系統(tǒng)中獲得的結(jié)果。

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (MPMI) publishes peer-reviewed fundamental and advanced applied re?search on the genetics, genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of pathological, symbiotic, and associative interactions of microbes, insects, nematodes, or parasitic plants with plants.ScopeResearch should be directed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant interactions with other organisms rather than merely describing such interactions. Research to be published in MPMI must be novel and not simply repeat results already obtained in other systems.
