Membrane proteome profiling of Mentha arvensis leaves in response to Alternaria alternata infection identifies crucial candidates for defense response.

ABSTRACT: The leaf spot disease of Mentha arvensis, caused by Alternaria alternata, is a devastating foliar disease worldwide and leads to considerable economic losses. In this investigation, 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was used to identify the membrane proteins potentially involved in M. arvensis - A. alternata interaction. Membrane proteins, isolated from leaves of control and infected plants, were analyzed by 2-DE and identified using mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF-TOF MS/MS). Our analysis identified 21 differentially expressed membrane proteins including several interesting receptors and channel proteins. Of these identified proteins, 34% were found to be involved in plant defense responses. Leucine-rich repeat family protein/ protein kinase family protein which plays critical role in
