Altered lignin biosynthesis using biotechnology to improve lignocellulosic biofuel feedstocks.

abstract：:Co-expression of protease inhibitors like the tomato cystatin SlCYS8 is useful to increase recombinant protein production in plants, but key proteases involved in protein proteolysis are still unknown. Here, we performed activity-based protein profiling to identify proteases that are inhibited by SlCYS8 in agroinfiltr...
