Related Proteins forResponding of Fungal Pathogen Causing Anthracnose Disease in Anthurium

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate some proteins which response to fungal pathogen causing anthracnose disease in Anthurium. The protein expression between infected Anthurium with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and non-infected Anthurium was performed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) technique. Results exhibited that some protein expression showed significantly (p<0.05) increased whilst decreased in infected Anthurium. In addition, new proteins were also occurred in infected Anthurium. The alteration in protein expression was the response produced by Anthurium against fungal pathogen. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was use to analyze interested protein spots. Six proteins were identified including oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 1, oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 2, triosephosphate isomerase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione s-transferase. These proteins played an important role in biochemical process of plant cells.
