Summary: | Thanks to spectacular advances in the techniques for identifying proteins separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and in methods for large-scale analysis of proteome variations, proteomics is becoming an essential methodology in various fields of plant biology. In the study of pleiotropic effects of mutants and in the analysis of responses to hormones and to environmental changes, the identification of involved metabolic pathways can be deduced from the function of affected proteins. In molecular quantitative genetics, proteomics can be used to map translated genes and loci controlling their expression, which can be used to identify proteins accounting for the variation of complex phenotypic traits. Linking gene expression to cell metabolism on the one hand and to genetic maps on the other, proteomics is a central tool for functional genomics. |
