Over the years, several studies have been performed to analyse plant-pathogen interactions. Recently, functional genomic strategies, including proteomics and transcriptomics, have contributed to the effort of defining gene and protein function and expression profiles. Using these 'omic' approaches, pathogenicity- and defence-related genes and proteins expressed during phytopathogen infections have been identified and enormous datasets have been accumulated. However, the understanding of molecular plant-pathogen interactions is still an intriguing area of investigation. Proteomics has dramatically evolved in the pursuit of large-scale functional assignment of candidate proteins and, by using this approach, several proteins expressed during phytopathogenic interactions have been identified. In this review, we highlight the proteins expressed during plant-virus, plant-bacterium, plant-fungus and plant-nematode interactions reported in proteomic studies, and discuss these findings considering the advantages and limitations of current proteomic tools.
