The paper benchmarks AlphaFold, ESMFold, and Boltz in maize to assess their performance on plant proteins, finding lower confidence scores and geometry issues in less conserved proteins.

This paper applies RFdiffusion to predict interspecies protein-protein interactions between fungal pathogens and cereal crops, achieving high recall in identifying validated interactions.

The paper introduces the Fusarium Protein Toolkit, a web-based resource that provides structural models and variant effect predictions for Fusarium proteins to aid in understanding and mitigating crop diseases and mycotoxin contamination.
