How to convert host plants into nonhosts

Recent research demonstrates that undermining interactions between pathogen effectors and their host target proteins can reduce infection. As more effector–target pairs are identified, their structures and interaction surfaces exposed, and there is the possibility of making multiple edits to diverse...

Description
Summary:Recent research demonstrates that undermining interactions between pathogen effectors and their host target proteins can reduce infection. As more effector–target pairs are identified, their structures and interaction surfaces exposed, and there is the possibility of making multiple edits to diverse plant genomes, the desire to convert crops to nonhosts could become reality.
