Proteomic studies of phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and their interactions with hosts

Proteomics, the systematic analysis of the proteome, is a powerful tool in the post-genomic era. Proteomics studies have examined global changes in proteomes of phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and their hosts during compatible or incompatible interactions. This article compiles proteomics reports in order to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying fungal development (infection-related morphogenesis), fungal or oomycete-host plant interactions, and phytopathogenesis.
