Aspects of the present disclosure relates to genetically altered LysM receptors. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a hydrophobic patch into the LysM2 domain which can increase affinity and/or selectivity for LCOs and by replacement of regions in the LysM1 domain with the corresponding regions of the LysM1 domain from a donor LysM receptor that can alter the affinity and/or selectivity for the oligosaccharide particularly for LCOs and can alter the specificity between LCO when using regions from a high affinity and specificity LCO LysM receptor such as a legume NFR1 receptor. The present disclosure also relates to genetically altering LysM receptors in plants to include a hydrophobic patch or alter the hydrophobic patch and to genetically altering LysM receptors in plants by replacement of regions in the LysM2 domaaiinn..
