Proteomic analysis of exudate of Cercospora armoraciae from Armoracia rusticana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cercospora armoraciae causes leaf spot disease on Armoracia rusticana. Exudation of droplets, when grown on PDA, distinguishes this fungi from other members of the genus Cercospora. The role this exudate plays in the virulence of this pathogen has not been elucidated. To explore this, we characterized the transcriptome of C. armoraciae and the proteome of exudate associated with this plant pathogen.

Methods

Virulence of three strains of C. armoraciae was evaluated in greenhouse assays. De novo sequencing was applied to assemble transcriptome from these strains. Nano-HPLC-MS/MS analysis was used to identify proteins in the pathogen exudate. Identified proteins were functionally classified and annotated using GO, KEGG, and COG/KOG
