Integrative transcript to proteome analysis of barley during Ramularia collo-cygni leaf spot development identified several proteins that are related to fungal recognition and infection responses.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) disease is a growing threat to barley cultivation, but with no substantial resistance identified to date. Similarly, the understanding of the lifestyle of Ramularia collo-cygni (Rcc) and the prediction of RLS outbreak severity remain challenging, with Rcc displaying a rather untypical long endophytic phase and a sudden change to a necrotrophic lifestyle. The aim of this study was to provide further insights into the defense dynamics during the different stages of colonization and infection in barley in order to identify potential targets for resistance breeding.

Methods

Utilizing the strength of proteomics in understanding plant-pathogen interactions, we performed an integrative analysis of a published transc
