title: Proteomic dissection of plant development.
abstract: Plant development is controlled by complex endogenous genetic programs and responses to environmental cues. Proteome analyses have recently been introduced to plant biology to identify proteins instrumental in these developmental processes. To date most plant proteome studies have been employed to generate reference maps of the most abundant soluble proteins of plant organs at a defined developmental stage. However, proteomics is now also utilized for genetic studies comparing the proteomes of different plant genotypes, for physiological studies analyzing the influences of exogenous signals on a particular plant organ, and developmental studies investigating proteome changes during development. Technical advances are now beginning to allow a proteomic dissection of individual cell types, thus greatly increasing the information revealed by proteome analyses.
