Rather than providing a single specific protocol, the inclusive area of seed proteomics is reviewed; methods are described and compared and primary literature citations are provided. The limitations and challenges of proteomics as an approach to study seed biology are emphasized. The proteomic analysis of seeds encounters some specific problems that do not impinge on analyses of other plant cells, tissues, or organs. There are anatomic considerations. Seeds comprise the seed coat, the storage organ(s), and the embryonic axis. Are these to be studied individually or as a composite? The physiological status of the seeds must be considered; developing, mature, or germinating? If mature, are they quiescent or dormant? If mature and quiescent, then orthodox or recalcitrant? The genetic uniformity of the population of seeds being compared must be considered. Finally, seeds are protein-rich and the extreme abundance of the storage proteins results in a study-subject with a dynamic range that spans several orders of magnitude. This represents a problem that must be dealt with if the study involves analysis of proteins that are of "normal" to low abundance. Several different methods of prefractionation are described and the results compared.

Background: Lewy bodies (LB), the main hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD), are a frequent co-pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The varying extents of LB pathology in these disorders can influence disease progression and severity. Consequently, understanding LB impact on the proteomic profile of these diseases is crucial, potentially leading to identifyng novel blood biomarkers related to this pathology which are urgently needed.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.

Aim: Bacillus subtilis is usually found in soil, and their biocontrol and plant growth promoting capabilities are being explored more recently than ever. However, knowledge about metabolite production and genome composition of endophytic Bacillus subtilis from seeds is limited. In the present study, Bacillus subtilis EVCu15 strain isolated from the seeds of Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis (mountain papaya) was subjected to whole genome sequencing, and detailed molecular and functional characterization.

Norway maple and sycamore belong to the Acer genus and produce desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive seeds, respectively. We investigated the seed germination process at the imbibed and germinated stages using metabolomic and proteomic approaches to determine why sycamore seeds germinate earlier and are more successful at establishing seedlings than Norway maple seeds under controlled conditions. Embryonic axes and embryonic axes with protruded radicles were analyzed at the imbibed and germinated stages, respectively.
