A technical trick for studying proteomics in parallel to transcriptomics in symbiotic root-fungus interactions

Proteomics. 2004 Feb;4(2):451-3. doi: 10.1002/pmic.200300627.

Abstract

We have developed a protocol in which proteins and mRNA can be analyzed from single root samples. This experimental design was validated in arbuscular mycorrhiza by comparing the proteins profiles obtained with those from a classical protein extraction process. It is a step forward to make simultaneous proteome and transcriptiome profiling possible.
