AI Article Synopsis
- Plant breeders are in need of advanced tools to enhance breeding programs that meet the rising demands for food and resources, especially in light of challenges like salinity and drought.
- The review discusses successes and hurdles in identifying proteins important for tolerance to environmental stresses, including how these stresses may impact allergen levels.
- It highlights both confirmed proteins that aid in stress tolerance and potential candidates still needing verification, as well as ongoing challenges in detecting and characterizing specific protein families and modifications.
Article Abstract
Plant breeders need new and more precise tools to accelerate breeding programs that address the increasing needs for food, feed, energy and raw materials, while facing a changing environment in which high salinity and drought have major impacts on crop losses worldwide. This review covers the achievements and bottlenecks in the identification and validation of proteins with relevance in abiotic stress tolerance, also mentioning the unexpected consequences of the stress in allergen expression. While addressing the key pathways regulating abiotic stress plant adaptation, comprehensive data is presented on the proteins confirmed as relevant to confer tolerance. Promising candidates still to be confirmed are also highlighted, as well as the specific protein families and protein modifications for which detection and characterization is still a challenge. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Translational Plant Proteomics.
