Call for papers: Submit to the forthcoming MPMI Focus Issue, "Plant Immune Receptors in the Spotlight," by October 31, 2026! Editors: @mpcontreras4, @sardineboy_DING, @ClemMarchal, @MariSchuster, and @WilsonLab Learn more 👉 apsjournals.apsnet.org/mpmir… This focus issue seeks to capture exciting developments across all areas of immune receptor biology that are pertinent to enhancing our understanding of the plant–pathogen interaction. The editors welcome submissions that investigate infection-related receptors—and the outcomes of receptor activation—at the molecular, cellular, structural, network, and/or evolutionary level in any plant host or pathogen system. Studies with clear translational potential are particularly encouraged. Submissions may include original research articles, short communications, or reviews that examine emerging trends and offer fresh perspectives on specific aspects of this broad and rapidly developing field. Through this collection, the editors hope to highlight major breakthroughs in receptor biology, identify critical knowledge gaps that continue to limit progress, and help pave the way toward practical solutions for sustainable disease management in agriculture. #MPMI #Receptors #PlantScience #ReceptorBiology
