Abstract

This chapter aims to provide a general technical overview of the contribution of proteomics to the identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis-related proteins. Key features with regard to biological material handling; equipment, protein separation and detection protocols are first highlighted, before a case study of combined transcriptomic and proteomic investigations targeted at the early stages of this plant–mycorrhiza interaction is exposed.
