Combining proteomic and genetic studies in plants.
Plant proteomics is still in its infancy, although numerous experiments have been undertaken since the end of the 1970s. In this review we focus on the interactions between proteomics and genetics. A given genome can express various proteomes according to differentiation, development, tissues, cells and subcellular compartments, and proteomes are modified in function of biotic and abiotic environment. These different proteomes and the way they respond to environment can be compared between genotypes, allowing the characterization of mutants or lines, the study of mutation pleiotropic effects, the genetic mapping of expressed genes. These comparisons also permit to hypothesize for "candidate proteins" that might be involved in the genetic variation of traits of economic or agronomic interest.
