Exposure to saline environments significantly hampers the growth and productivity of oil crops, harmfully affecting their nutritional quality and suitability for biofuel production. This presents a critical challenge, as understanding salt tolerance mechanisms in crops is key to improving their performance in coastal and high-salinity regions. Our content might be read more properly: This review assembles current knowledge on protein-level changes related to salinity resistance in oil crops.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSeeds are essential for plant reproduction, ensuring species survival and dispersal while adapting to diverse environments throughout a plant's life. Proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool for deciphering the complexities of seed growth, germination, and stress responses. Advanced proteomic technologies enable the analysis of protein changes during germination, dormancy, and ageing, enhancing our understanding of seed lifespan and vitality.

Methods: Thirty rabbits either had anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) procedure or injected intra-articularly with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA, 8 mg) into the right knee.
Arsenic (As) is an increasing threat across the globe, widely known as a non-threshold carcinogen, and it is reaching harmful values in several areas of the world. In this study, the effect of plant growth promoting bacteria () on inorganic arsenic (Arsenate) phytoremediation by plants was investigated through histological analysis and proteome profiling of the plants. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscopy were used to conduct the proteome and histological analysis.

Tiger's milk mushroom is known for its valuable medicinal properties, especially the tuber part. However, wild tuber is very hard to obtain as it grows underground. This study first aimed to cultivate tiger's milk mushroom tuber through a cultivation technique, and second to compare nutritional and mycochemical contents, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities and compound screening of the cultivated tuber with the wild tuber.

Synovial fluid was collected via arthrocentesis from a dog diagnosed with immune-mediated polyarthritis. Protein precipitation was performed on the synovial fluid, followed by isoelectric focusing and 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
