Proteomics in plant pathology: A tool for disease management
Author(s): Prakash Jyoti Kalita and Ratul Moni Ram
Abstract: In present situation the major concern is to increase the productivity of the major crops and vegetables in order to meet the demand of global food supply of the constantly rising population from the limited agricultural land available. However, along with the land availability there are several other factors as well that contribute equally to the reduction in the annual productivity of the crops, among which weeds, diseases, insects and abiotic stresses are the major ones. In the field of plant pathology, the main area of research includes the losses that occur due to several pathogens which ultimately account for huge crop loss. So, in order to tackle this problem several advanced biotechnological approaches were used in recent past among which proteomics a systems biology approach is most promising. Proteomics in combination with transcriptomics, genomics and several other advanced fields yields many valuable and informative data that can be used to understand the complex interaction lying underneath in the plant- pathogen interaction. Better understanding of the pathogen virulence, mode of infection and downstream disease signaling mechanism in turn will help to design effective strategies to develop resistant cultivars which can better cope up against the attack of pathogens.
