A Letter from the PresidentSheng Yang He, Michigan State University hes@msu.edu

I feel so humbled to serve as the president of the International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (IS-MPMI) for the next two years. IS-MPMI has been my professional home for more than 25 years, during which I have learned so much from so many of you who inspire me to be a good scientist and a sincere colleague. I would like to thank the previous IS-MPMI presidents and Board of Directors (BOD), including immediate Past President Sophien Kamoun, for all they have done to make IS-MPMI a vibrant and attractive society for colleagues from more than 30 countries who study the molecular aspects of plant-microbe

interactions. Knowing my limited ability, I will work very hard and very closely with the current members of the IS-MPMI BOD (www.ismpmi.org/About/Pages/Board_of_Directors.aspx) to ensure an exciting congress in 2016, a strong society flagship journal (MPMI), and dynamic com-munication/networking venues through the society website and IS-MPMI Reporter.

The biennial IS-MPMI congresses are special to us because they bring us together to share exciting results, exchange new ideas, and catch up with new and old friends. The XVI IC-MPMI, held on the beautiful island of Rhodes, Greece, was no exception in this respect. With approximately 1,200 attendees (the largest in IS-MPMI history), the congress featured exciting and expansive science, marking another wave of progress in the understanding of diverse plant-pathogen, plant-symbiont, and plant-commensal interactions. Although the topics of immune/symbiosis signaling and effector biology dominated the congress, it was great to see substantial coverage of plant-microbiome interactions, translational research toward disease control and diagnosis, and new insights on plant-pathogen battles over the gene silencing machinery. The XVI IC-MPMI was a great success in terms of the science presented and the networking opportunities provided for the attendees, despite a number of logistic problems (the BOD is taking steps to clarify these problems). A unique highlight of the congress in Rhodes, thanks to the leadership of BOD members Roger Innes and Mary Beth Mudgett, was the involvement of 57 student travel awardees, who actively summarized and disseminated meeting presentations by multimedia during the congress (see the IS-MPMI website). More than 400 students attended the congress, displaying the uplifting youthfulness of our society on the 30th anniversary of the cloning of a pathogen avirulence gene and the 20th anniversary of the cloning of disease resistance genes.

The next IS-MPMI congress will be held in Portland, Oregon, United States, in 2016. Normally, we would have an IS-MPMI congress in 2018, but because the 11th International Congress of Plant Pathology has already been scheduled in 2018 (Boston, U.S.A.), the BOD decided to postpone the following IS-MPMI congress until 2019 (to be held in Glasgow, Scotland). To ensure that IS-MPMI congresses deliver not only exciting science, but also high-quality services, the local organizing committees led by Brett Tyler (Portland) and Paul Birch (Glasgow) will work closely with the BODs in the organization of these congresses, and a professional team at IS-MPMI Headquarters will be involved in handling the logistics for both congresses.

As you know, the society journal MPMI provides a central portal for publishing cutting-edge results from molecular studies of plant-microbe interactions. Editor-in-Chief Jane Glazebrook, senior editors, and members of the Editorial Board have done an exemplary job so far and are implementing innovative approaches (including Focus Issues) to improve both the attractiveness of MPMI and the rapid dissemination of accepted manuscripts via the First Look section. A new Focus Issue, entitled “The Good, the Bad, and the Unknown: Genomics-Enabled Discovery of Plant-Associated Microbial Processes and Diversity,” is planned for March 2015. This Focus Issue will be widely promoted and is expected to be highly cited, giving authors maximum exposure.

With the creation of our new society website (www.ismpmi.org) and under the leadership of Brad Day, IS-MPMI Reporter will be converted to an online format only. The new format will utilize the features of the new IS-MPMI website via a online platform and feed new information directly to the homepage and social media. The print version of IS-MPMI Reporter will be discontinued after this issue. We hope that the new IS-MPMI Reporter concept will make communication and networking in the IS-MPMI community more dynamic and time sensitive.

Sheng Yang He, President

3International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

I would like to end my first letter to you with a brief reflection on the XVI IC-MPMI. I heard many interesting talks during the congress, including two memorable award talks: the Opening Lecture by Fred Ausubel, introduced by his former post-doc Jonathan Jones, and one of the final Plenary Talks by Nick Panopolous, introduced by his former student Brian Staskawicz. Fred and Nick are among the pioneers who have created new frontiers of research in MPMI. Looking ahead, there are many plant-microbe interactions in nature that await us to explore. With many cutting-edge toolkits that were unthinkable even a few years ago, this is truly an exciting time for the IS-MPMI community to break new ground and to translate fundamental knowledge to solve major problems in agriculture. I wish you good luck in your research and look forward to hearing fascinating stories from you in Portland, Oregon, in 2016. n

New Approach for IS-MPMI ReporterThe past year at IS-MPMI has been an exciting one, with many new ideas and changes being implemented. Among the most visible of these changes is our online presence. Our website (www.ismpmi.org) has a fresh new look featuring society news and real-time “shout outs” from our Twitter feed (@ISMPMI). As one of the final updates, we would like to announce the transition of the IS-MPMI Reporter from print to an online platform. Through conversations with the IS-MPMI Board of Directors, including

MPMI Editor-in-Chief Jane Glazebrook, as well as former and current IS-MPMI Presidents Sophien Kamoun and Sheng Yang He, respectively, it was decided that this approach will be the fastest and most effective way to communicate news, science, and events of interest around the world to IS-MPMI members in real time. The new format will create a new and vibrant online community where members can comment and interact with others. The platform will be live and fully interactive beginning January 2015, and this issue of the IS-MPMI Reporter will be the last printed edition.

We still encourage contributions from our members, including research notes, Q&A topics, and any other information you would like to share with IS-MPMI. Please send us your ideas often, and unlike the limitations of print, we will be sure to release your contributions in near record-breaking speed to the society!

With best regards,Brad DayIS-MPMI Reporter Editor-in-Chief n

2014 IS-MPMI Awardee, Frederick M. Ausubel

In 2006, the IS-MPMI board established the IS-MPMI Award, to be presented to a scientist in the MPMI community who has performed outstanding innovative research. Congratulations to the most recent IS-MPMI Awardee, Frederick Ausubel from Massachusetts General. Ausubel received his B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1966 and his Ph.D. degree in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972. Formerly, he was

assistant and associate professor in the Department of Cellular and Developmental Biology at Harvard University. Ausubel is currently professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and is the Karl Winnacker Distinguished Investigator in the Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Ausubel’s scientific work concerns host-microbe interactions. In the 1970s and 1980s, his laboratory worked on the molecular basis of symbiotic nitrogen fixation, the process by which legumes, in concert with a bacterial symbiont, convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Currently, the laboratory is investigating microbial pathogenesis and host defense in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The laboratory has also adopted a genomics approach to study virulence in the opportunistic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA14, which remarkably is a “multihost” pathogen of both plants and animals. The laboratory is particularly interested in those aspects of pathogenesis and the host innate immune response that have been conserved in evolution.

Ausubel was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1994, the American Academy of Microbiology in 2002, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003. In addition to serving on a variety of editorial boards, Ausubel is founding editor of the widely read Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Ausubel is the 2014 recipient of the Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal for Lifetime Achievement from the Genetics Society of America. n

7International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

Q: Can you give a general overview of the changes coming to MPMI?A: Investments are being made to modernize our production workflow and presentation online. To accomplish this, we’ll be producing the journals using an XML-based workflow that will allow us to produce research papers for web and print delivery simultaneously from the same source. We antici-pate these changes will allow for faster publication times from acceptance to finished paper, easier discoverability, and a better viewing experience across all electronic devices.

Q: What is XML?A: XML stands for “Extensible Markup Language,” a standardized format that should help us publish in new systems going forward, even as delivery channels change. It’s one of the most universally supported text-based formats existing today, and many journals use it as the basis for journal pro-duction. XML allows the creation of full-text HTML in the academic pub-lishing world, on almost any platform. The XML is coded and produced first from the text of journal manuscripts and then converted into other formats, such as HTML, PDF, and print. This process will be facilitated through Dartmouth Journal Services, a division of the Sheridan Publishing Group. They handle similar workflows for hundreds of prestigious journals, such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Q: What are the advantages of employing an XML-first workflow in the articles?A: We can do the article preparation once and present it in multiple for-mats. For example, we will be able to deliver full-text HTML, which allows for a better, more universal viewing experience across all browsers and platforms, from your desktop computer to your mobile device. It doesn’t matter what the size of your screen is or which operating system you use. It will just work! The HTML article presentation will also allow the reader to jump to any section of the article with just a tap or a click.

Q: What about the PDFs? Will they still be available?A: Yes, we will be keeping the PDF format. It will look identical to what you’d see in the print edition. This is the most common format people prefer for printing articles from the web. PDFs allow for a more graphically enhanced organized look to printed articles and we will continue to offer them.

Q: Features and functionality aside, what other changes will this new XML format allow?A: I’m glad you asked, and I’m really excited about this one. Publishing in this new workflow will help us to get our final edited articles published much more quickly. Currently, we publish MPMI manuscripts in First Look upon acceptance in their unpolished form, allowing authors and readers to see their work published online within days of acceptance. But the final edited and formatted versions do not appear until the issue appears in print. With the new workflow, edited and formatted articles will appear online as soon as they are ready, well ahead of print. Most importantly, articles can be fully indexed in search engines such a PubMed and are citable as soon as they appear on First Look.

Q: How will these changes specifically affect authors?A: These changes will benefit the authors in many ways. First and foremost, this new system allows for faster time to publication. Second, authors of

accepted manuscripts will be sent to a new author portal where they can di-rectly pay any publishing fees, or purchase immediate open access for their article, or order reprints. And third, authors will have the ability to see their articles published and cited at three different publication stages, each with a consistent DOI number for citing.

I would like to emphasize that there will also be changes to the editorial submission process. Before authors publish their next articles in MPMI, they should make sure to check the author instructions carefully. The au-thor instructions will be updated in November or December of 2014.

Q: Will these changes affect the editors of APS journals and the reviewers?A: The peer-review process, led by Editor-in-Chief Jane Glazebrook for MPMI is the heart and soul of our journals. Based on a recent MPMI survey, it was clear that the quality of the research papers published in our journals is one of our key strengths. It takes strong participation from APS and IS-MPMI editors, as well as reviewers, to produce quality papers for our authors.

The headquarters staff technical editors will also be editing manuscripts in Dartmouth Journals Services’ proprietary Edit Express system. This system allows editing in a word-processing environment that automatically tracks and maintains XML formatting in the background. Edit Express also helps the technical editors by flagging potential errors and items for checking before returning the manuscript to authors. Also, the graphics and the text editing will be happening simultaneously, rather than in a linear manner as is the current practice. And these editors will be further assisted by the new author center, which will contact and remind authors to check their proofs, formerly a manual process. Every change is being made to improve speed without sacrificing quality.

Q. How will these changes affect readers?A. As I mentioned earlier, readers can expect to have an excellent viewing experience across platforms earlier than ever before. The APS Publications Board, of which Jane Glazebrook is a member as editor-in-chief of MPMI, is looking at other improvements too. We are looking at ways for authors and readers to see the impact their article is having in the scientific commu-nity. So, in addition to showing which articles are citing a particular article, we are planning to add article-based metrics that might tell the reader how many times it has been downloaded, tweeted, or shared in other forms of social media. These are also known as Altmetrics in the academic publishing world.

Q. When will full-text HTML and Altmetrics be coming?A. HTML will appear sometime in the first half of 2015, with Altmetrics to follow.

Q. Anything else on the journals horizon?A. We are looking at other improvements to the review process and publish-ing platforms. Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, Plant Disease, and Phy-topathology are highly respected journals, thanks to the work by thousands of dedicated IS-MPMI and APS member scientists over the years. We want to make sure our journals remain the number one source for research in our coverage areas. n

MPMI Journal Advancing to a New Modern EraQ&A with Niklaus Grünwald

In this Q&A session, IS-MPMI staff interviewed Niklaus Grünwald, chair of The American Phytopathological Society (APS) Publications Board and research plant pathologist at USDA-ARS, Oregon State University, about the many efforts to further modernize—and bring additional speed and agility—to the publishing process by moving to a new workflow for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions and the other journals on the APS platform: Plant Disease and Phytopathology. (As noted in Jane Glazebrook’s article published in Issue No. 2, 2014, of the IS-MPMI Reporter, IS-MPMI holds a royalty agreement with APS, who is the publisher and owner of MPMI.)
