Machine learning meets plant pathogens (IMAGE) American Phytopathological Society Caption Elucidating the structures of phytopathogens' secreted proteins with machine learning-based structure prediction tools. Machine learning and plant-pathogen interaction commonly have a black box. During the prediction from the input primary sequences to protein structures, we don't exactly know what happens. Similarly, we do not fully understand the complex interaction at the interface of plants and pathogens. The box in the middle captures the complexity within this black box.
