Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants and biocontrol agents are able to release into the rhizosphere a large number of bioactive compounds that can modify the complex network of interactions between them, thus influencing plant–microbe interactions.
In response to microbial attackers, plants change the chemicals that their roots secrete and consequentially can shape the composition of root microbiomes.
Many secondary metabolites that are produced by beneficial microbes have been found to play an important role in the biocontrol of plant diseases due to their antibiotic properties, which allow the producing microbe to inhibit pathogens.
Moreover, biocontrol-related metabolites may increase plant fitness and trigger systemic plant defence activity, thus inducing disease resistance.
In the present Special Issue, we intend to cover the following topics:
- the isolation of novel plant and/or microbial compounds using metabolomics approaches;
- the characterization of molecules and secondary metabolites;
- plant and biocontrol bioactive metabolites;
- application of molecules in agriculture (crop and animal production);
- natural products with a beneficial outcome in agriculture and animal husbandry;
- the influence of bioactive metabolites on plant and animal metabolomes; and
- microbial metabolites involved in plant or animal interactions.
For this Special Issue, we welcome full research papers, reviews, and short communications that provide an overview of recent advances in the isolation, characterization, and applications of natural bioactive molecules.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
