Be there or be square: nuclear-to-cytoplasm relocalization of Arabidopsis PRORP2 leads to virus resistance

Commentary on Gobert et al. The authors prove the feasibility of an idea through this proof-of-concept work. As they point out, plant antiviral treatments are usually virus-specific, unfortunately for the moment a ‘broad-spectrum’ plant antiviral does not exist.
