Abstract

The New Phytologist Foundation is delighted to announce that Professor Maarja Öpik will take up the position of Editor-in-Chief of New Phytologist from January 2025, for an initial term of 5 years.

Maarja has served as a member of New Phytologist's editorial board since 2013 and is a professor of Molecular Ecology and Director of the Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences at the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Tartu, Estonia.

Maarja's research addresses the interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, with specific focus on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity patterns. Maarja pioneered one of the first public databases in the field, MaarjAM (Öpik et al., 2010), which is now widely used as a tool for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal identification and in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus ecological research.

Maarja will lead an outstanding international board of Editors that focuses on all aspects of plant biology, spanning the journal's five sections: Physiology & Development, Interaction, Environment, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. Maarja noted ‘New Phytologist is a journal that inspires its readers and authors, and this is the main quality that I aspire to keep, strengthen and develop as an Editor-in-Chief. Publishing inspiring papers and maintaining an active, engaging scientific community contributes towards strengthening the journal and its community’.

Maarja will take over the position from Professor Alistair M. Hetherington, who will step down as Editor-in-Chief after 12 years of outstanding service. We are grateful for the outstanding leadership offered by Alistair Hetherington, and the journal's achievements under his tenure as Editor-in-Chief are many. As we look forward, I am delighted to welcome Maarja, an exemplary scientist and editorial colleague to the position of Editor-in-Chief. We are excited to support Maarja's vision for the journal, and her commitment to the ethos of the Foundation in promoting plant science and supporting the international community of plant biologists. We look forward to the next chapter of the journal's development under Maarja's leadership.

The New Phytologist Foundation remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in maps and in any institutional affiliations.

Maarja Öpik将于2025年1月起担任新植物学家总编辑

The New Phytologist Foundation很高兴地宣布，Maarja Öpik教授将于2025年1月起担任New Phytologist的总编辑，初始任期为5年。Maarja自2013年起担任New Phytologist编辑委员会成员，是爱沙尼亚塔尔图大学科学与技术学院分子生态学教授和生态与地球科学研究所所长。Maarja的研究涉及植物与菌根真菌之间的相互作用，特别关注丛枝菌根真菌多样性模式。Maarja开创了该领域最早的公共数据库之一MaarjAM （Öpik et al., 2010），该数据库现在被广泛用作丛枝菌根真菌鉴定和丛枝菌根真菌生态研究的工具。Maarja将领导一个杰出的国际编辑委员会，专注于植物生物学的各个方面，涵盖该杂志的五个部分：生理学和amp；发展、相互作用、环境、进化和转化植物生物技术。Maarja指出：“《新植物学家》是一本能够激励读者和作者的杂志，这是我作为主编希望保持、加强和发展的主要品质。”发表鼓舞人心的论文和维持一个活跃的、有吸引力的科学社区有助于加强期刊及其社区”。Maarja将接替Alistair M. Hetherington教授的职位，后者将在12年的出色服务后辞去总编辑一职。我们感谢阿利斯泰尔·赫瑟林顿的杰出领导，在他担任总编辑期间，本刊取得了许多成就。展望未来，我很高兴地欢迎Maarja，一位杰出的科学家和编辑同事担任总编辑一职。我们很高兴支持Maarja对期刊的愿景，以及她对基金会精神的承诺，即促进植物科学和支持国际植物生物学家社区。我们期待着在Maarja的领导下，杂志发展的下一个篇章。
