Introduction

This third edition details recent advances made in the field of proteomics and the application to plant biology and translational research. In recent years, improvements have been made to protocols on high-throughput proteomics at all workflow stages, from wet to dry labs. Chapters are divided into nine parts, covering methods and protocols such as applications of gel-free, label- or label-free, imaging and targeted approaches to experimental model systems, crops and orphan species, study and analysis of PTMs, protein interactions, specific families of proteins, and finally proteomics in translational research. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Plant Proteomics: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
