Proteomics for studying arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses
Proteomics represents a powerful tool for studying proteins and their post-translational modifications under different developmental stages or in response to various environmental stimuli. In particular, it appears especially well dedicated to the study of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis [1, 2].
As a complement to EST and gene expression studies, we are carrying out proteome analyses of Medicago truncatula roots during their colonisation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. For this purpose, several complementary strategies are being developed :
