title: Rice proteomic analysis: sample preparation for protein identification.
abstract: Rice is one of the most important food and cereal crop plants in the world. Rice proteomics began in the 1990s. Since then, considerable progress has been made in establishing protocols from isolation of rice proteins from different tissues, organs, and organelles, to separation of complex proteins and to their identification by mass spectrometry. Since the year 2000, global proteomics studies have been performed during growth and development under numerous biotic and abiotic environmental conditions. Two-dimensional (2-D) gel-based proteomics platform coupled with mass spectrometry has been retained as the workhorse for proteomics of a variety of rice samples. In this chapter, we describe in detail the different protocols used for isolation of rice proteins, their separation, detection, and identification using gel-based proteomics and mass spectrometry approaches.
