The freely available What’s New in MPMI! virtual seminar series has been a great way for IS-MPMI members to stay connected to their science and for MPMI journal authors to present their work to a global audience. There are currently 11 seminars available for immediate viewing.

Coming up next, we are excited to host Kenichi Tsuda, who will discuss Top 10 Question #5: Does ETI potentiate and restore PTI—or is there really a binary distinction between ETI and PTI? Read his review of the topic. This free seminar will be held March 22 at 8:00 p.m. CDT (9:00 p.m. EDT) and March 23 at 9:00 a.m. (Beijing, CST). Access this page to register in advance to attend or check back to watch it later.
