- Title
The application of proteomics to plant biology: a review.
- Authors
Rampitsch, Christof; Srinivasan, Murali
- Abstract
The term proteomics, although still less than a decade old, is becoming commonplace in the vocabulary of biologists. Advances made in yeast and humans have been remarkable, sustained by equally remarkable progress in mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, and separation techniques. Progress in plants has been more recent, much of it in the model organisms Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and rice (Oryza sativa L.), reflecting the tremendous advantage of a complete genomic sequence for proteomics endeavours. Other plants have also been the subject of investigation and this review deals with recent progress in proteomics under three main subheadings: total proteome studies, stress and post-translational modifications, and symbiotic plant–microbe interactions. Examples from the current literature are used to illustrate how proteomics can be used by itself or as part of a larger strategy to gain insight into the functioning of plants at the molecular level.
