The paper uses computational methods to redesign β-lactoglobulin, improving its stability and BCAA content, with experimental validation of the results.

This study identifies ZtGH45, a β-glucanase from Zymoseptoria tritici, showing that its stage-specific down-regulation during infection prevents premature host immune activation, facilitating stealth infection.

This study modifies xylan in secondary walls of hybrid aspen to reduce recalcitrance, resulting in altered growth patterns and improved enzymatic saccharification.

This study uses transcriptomic analysis to investigate how culture conditions and xylan affect extracellular lignin production in Norway spruce tissue cultures.
