Details of the proteins identified in Brassica napus resistant Charlton and susceptible RQ001-02M2 at various times after inoculation with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

ASpot numbers as given on the 2-D gel image (Figure 3) that were significantly affected in response to the pathogen challenge.Bhpi = hours post inoculation.CExpression ratios (fold changes) for each protein was calculated from the average of spot intensities values of treatment with respect to their control genotype at each time point. However, spots 30–37 represent the actual values of the spot density data in the absence of detection of any protein in the control genotype (for these spots). These spot densities were measured from the filtered 2-DE images and each spot density value comprises the sum of the signal intensities (expressed as spot/optical density units) of all the pixels that make up the object.DSE represents the standard error associated with the mean value of expression ratio for each spot and for each genotype at different time points separately.
