The protein content of tomato (Lycopersicon
esculentum) xylem sap was found to change dramatically upon
infection with the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium
oxysporum. Peptide mass fingerprinting and mass spectrometric
sequencing were used to identify the most abundant proteins appearing
during compatible or incompatible interactions. A new member of the
PR-5 family was identified that accumulated early in both types of
interaction. Other pathogenesis-related proteins appeared in compatible
interactions only, concomitantly with disease development. This study
demonstrates the feasibility of using proteomics for the identification
of known and novel proteins in xylem sap, and provides insights into
plant-pathogen interactions in vascular wilt diseases.
