Research Summary
Using different grass species and plant measurements to understand cell wall feruloylation. Expression of fungal cell wall-degrading enzymes in plants in order to test if their expression can assist the digestion of polysaccharides and improve the nutritional properties of grasses as a ruminant feed or as a bioenergy crop
