Description	Recently, great attention is paid to determination of various metabolites after pathogen-caryopsis interaction. Some of antifungal proteins, e.g. thionins, might be of effect on barley quality and its subsequent food products - gushing or premature yeast flocculation. The changes proceeding during pathogen-caryopsis interaction were monitored in 20 samples of barley and its corresponding malt by the combination of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate - Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).
