Comparative sub-cellular proteome analyses reveals metabolic differentiation and production of effector-like molecules in the dieback phytopathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi

This study highlights the differential metabolism and cellular processes between the sub-proteomes. Proteins associated with metabolism, nutrient transport and cellular proliferation were over represented in the mycelia. The zoospores have a specialised proteome showing increased energy generation geared towards motility. Candidate effectors and effector-like secreted proteins were also identified, which can be exploited for genetic resistance. This demonstrates a better understanding of the biology and pathogenicity of P. cinnamomi infection that can subsequently be used to develop effective methods of disease management.PMID:36096432 | DOI:10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104725
