The present invention provides an isolated fungal cell that is capable of producing one or more biomass-degrading enzymes and that exhibits increased or decreased expression or copy number of a polynucleotide encoding a PtaB-like protein. Also provided is a fermentation processes for producing one or more biomass-degrading enzymes comprising a fungal cells exhibiting increased or decreased expression or copy number of a polynucleotide encoding a PtaB-like protein. The biomass-degrading enzymes produced by the isolate fungal cell and fermentation processes of the present invention may be used in a process to produce soluble sugars from biomass.

Provided are a gene combination used for controlling foreign gene expression in a specific plant tissue, and a method applying the gene combination to cultivate a transgenic plant. The method is used to cultivate, for example, an endosperm zero expression-type transgenic rice, i.e., rice grain endosperm produced by the rice does not contain any transgenic product protein synthesis and accumulation.

The present disclosure is generally related to mutant and genetically modified filamentous fungal cells and methods thereof for use in the production of proteins of interest. More particularly, as described herein, the mutant and/or modified fungal cells (strains) of the disclosure are well-suited for use in industrial scale fermentation processes for the enhanced expression/production of proteins of interest in the absence and/or in the presence of an inducing substrate.
