TL;DR: Comparison of the two species' genomes reveals a rapid expansion and diversification of many protein families associated with plant infection such as hydrolases, ABC transporters, protein toxins, proteinase inhibitors, and, in particular, a superfamily of 700 proteins with similarity to known oömycete avirulence genes.

TL;DR: Two basic protein extraction protocols are presented that have successfully been used with diverse plant tissues, including recalcitrant tissues and are based on phenol extraction coupled with ammonium acetate precipitation.

TL;DR: This study presents systems analysis of nor, rin, and Nr at the transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic levels during development and ripening, and observed very strong correlation between ripening-associated transcripts and specific metabolite groups, underlining the importance of these metabolic pathways during fruit ripening.

TL;DR: The characterization of SNE1 (suppressor of necrosis 1), a gene encoding a secreted protein from the hemibiotrophic oomycete Phytophthora infestans that is specifically expressed at the transcriptional level during biotrophic growth within the host plant tomato, is reported.

TL;DR: The combination of experimental tools and computational prediction is rapidly expanding the catalog of known wall-localized proteins, suggesting the unexpected extracellular localization of other polypeptides and providing the basis for further exploration of plant wall structure and function.
