title: Preparation of plant samples for 2-d electrophoresis.
abstract: Plant protein samples are very difficult to extract and prepare for 2-D electrophoresis, because polyphenols can build irreversible complexes with the proteins, the protein concentrations are relatively low, polysaccharides and lipids can cause severe disturbances in the 2-D gel.
