Virtual Issues

Legumes establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms within root nodules, a process regulated by complex signalling, gene expression, and energy balance. This Virtual Issue—organized in association with the 15th European Nitrogen Fixation Conference (ENFC) (August 31–September 3, 2023, Naples, Italy)—is a collection of research articles and reviews discussing the latest plant-oriented advances in the biological nitrogen fixation field.

The Journal of Experimental Botany is a supporter of the 12th International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM12). The theme of the meeting is ‘Bridging gaps in form, function and diversity’. In recognition of our association with ICOM12, we have assembled a collection of recently published JXB papers on mycorrhizal research.

This virtual issue, showcases a special collection of Darwin Reviews from leading authors to celebrate the Society for Experimental Biology’s Centenary.

This virtual issue, part of the journal’s support for the Plant Organ Growth Symposium (April 2019), introduces active research and technical developments that are helping to build a holistic image of the regulation of plant organ growth, which is of high interest in view of the increasing need for plant-derived products.

This virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany for the XVIII International Congress on Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions in Glasgow (2019) focuses on research that tackles the consequences of plant-microbe interactions, for both plant-mutualist and plant-pathogen scenarios.

This virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany focuses on basic research addressing our understanding of root architecture, which is of profound importance as we seek to understand plant responses to drought and flooding, and to breed crops with greater water use efficiency and resilience.

The topics covered in this virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany (JXB) have been selected from across the plant science being presented at the Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) Annual Main Meeting in Florence, Italy (3–6 July 2018).

This virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany has been compiled to accompany the journal's support for the 13th Plant Oxygen Group Meeting (POG 2017) in Kuşadasi, Turkey (10–13 September 2017).

This virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany has been put together to accompany the journal's support for InterDrought V in Hyderabad, India (21–25 February 2017), and includes papers selected by, and an editorial from, François Tardieu, Rajeev K. Varshney and Roberto Tuberosa.
