Aims and scope

Mitochondria and plastids derived from endosymbiotic prokaryotes. Journal of Mitochondria, Plastids and Endosymbiosis (JMPE) is dedicated to serving the biology community by publishing novel and exciting findings with high significance in the biology of mitochondria, plastids and endosymbiosis. The journal covers all classes of eukaryotes and will also consider work on prokaryotes relevant to the understanding of the function and evolution of mitochondria and plastids. JMPE focuses broadly on cellular biology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, development, genomics, biomedicine, pharmacology, toxicology, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution of mitochondria and plastids. We are also interested in general and evolutionary aspects of endosymbiosis, and in endosymbionts, such as the vast variety of invertebrate endosymbionts.
