V. longisporum elicits media-dependent secretome responses with a further capacity to distinguish between plant-related environments

Plant pathogens secrete distinct effector molecules in their host plants to establish successful infections. Verticillium longisporum colonizes the vascular system of the plant. We analyzed the exoproteome of the fungus dependent on different environmental conditions including non plant-related and plant-related environments. This exoproteomic comparison led to the identification of a set of proteins that are specifically secreted in the xylem sap.

植物病原菌会在宿主植物体内分泌独特的效应分子，以成功建立侵染过程。长孢轮枝菌（Verticillium longisporum）可定殖植物的维管系统。本研究针对该真菌在涵盖非植物相关环境与植物相关环境的不同环境条件下的分泌组（exoproteome）进行了分析。通过本次分泌组学对比分析，成功鉴定出一组特异性分泌于木质部汁液中的蛋白质。
