Proteomics changes during the incompatible interaction between cowpea and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz and Sacc

- Cowpea leaf proteome was studied following challenge with the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.
- Up- and down-regulated proteins were identified by 2D-PAGE in association with ESI-TOF/TOF MS/MS and database-searching.
- Up- and down-regulated proteins were related to metabolism, photosynthesis, response to stress, oxidative burst, defense signaling, and pathogenesis-related proteins.
