Comparative proteomic analysis of salt-responsive proteins in canola roots by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS.

Salinity stress is a major abiotic stress that affects plant growth and limits crop production. Roots are the primary site of salinity perception, and salt sensitivity in roots limits the productivity of the entire plant. To better understand salt stress responses in canola, we performed a comparative proteomic analysis of roots from the salt-tolerant genotype Safi-7 and the salt-sensitive genotype Zafar.
