Nikolai Huwa, as first author, was able to conduct his first studies on OsJAC1, a protein from rice that confers resistance to powdery mildew, among other things. In this publication, he shows that both the jaccalin domain and the dirigent protein domain can bind glycosides. Our sincere congratulations on this publication, Nikolai, may more beautiful works like this follow.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our cooperation partners: Ulrich Schaffrath (RWTH Aachen), without whom this project would never have come about, and Oliver Weiergräber (FZ Jülich), who made so many techniques possible here and also always had time for the manuscript. We look forward to further fruitful cooperation.
