Abstract

Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) is one of most important fruit crops cultivated widely in world. In the present study, we have investigated the proteome variation to different commercially available red strawberry varieties, to gain better insight into the variation in allergen content between the different varieties, as well as their proteome variation. In fact, a combination of proteomic tools have been used to build a complete allergen map of strawberry. The water-soluble fraction of a strawberry extract was precipitated using a phenol-based procedure and separated by 2-DE. Further, all known strawberry allergens were localized on a 2-DE map and they were matched with spots recognized by sera of patients with different allergic patterns. A number of constitutive or differentially accumulated proteins were found. The role of the identified proteins, in particular of the allergen proteins, is discussed in relation to the different variety of strawberry.
