This feature was exploited to document macromolecules present in exudate of white lupin Lupinus albus L. cv Kiev mutant in particular to identify proteins and RNA molecules including microRNA miRNA . Results Proteomic analysis tentatively identified 86 proteins from 130 spots collected from 2D gels analysed by partial amino acid sequence determination using MS MS. Analysis of a cDNA library constructed from exudate identified 609 unique transcripts. Both proteins and transcripts were classified into functional groups. The largest group of proteins comprised those involved in metabolism 24 followed by protein modification turnover 9 redox regulation 8 cell structural components 6 stress and defence response 6 with fewer in other groups. More prominent proteins were cyclophilin ubiquitin a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein a group of proteins that comprise a glutathione ascorbate-based mechanism to scavenge oxygen radicals enzymes of glycolysis and other metabolism including methionine and ethylene synthesis. Potential signalling macromolecules such as transcripts encoding proteins mediating calcium level and the Flowering locus T FT protein were also identified. From around 330 small RNA clones 18-25 nt 12 were identified as probable miRNAs by homology with those from other species. miRNA composition of exudate varied with site of collection . upward versus downward translocation streams and nutrition . phosphorus level . Conclusions This is the first inventory of macromolecule composition of phloem exudate from a species in
