Abstract
Crop improvement approaches have been changed due to technological advancements in traditional plant-breeding methods. Abiotic and biotic stresses limit plant growth and development, which ultimately lead to reduced crop yield. Proteins encoded by genomes have a considerable role in the endurance and adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions. Biotechnological applications in plant breeding depend upon the information generated from proteomic studies. Proteomics has a specific advantage to contemplate post-translational modifications, which indicate the functional effects of protein modifications on crop production. Subcellular proteomics helps in exploring the precise cellular responses and investigating the networking among subcellular compartments during plant development and biotic/abiotic stress responses. Large-scale mass spectrometry-based plant proteomic studies with a more comprehensive overview are now possible due to dramatic improvements in mass spectrometry, sample preparation procedures, analytical software, and strengthened availability of genomes for numerous plant species. Development of stress-tolerant or resilient crops is essential to improve crop productivity and growth. Use of high throughput techniques with advanced instrumentation giving efficient results made this possible. In this review, the role of proteomic studies in identifying the stress-response processes in different crops is summarized. Advanced techniques and their possible utilization on plants are discussed in detail. Proteomic studies accelerate marker-assisted genetic augmentation studies on crops for developing high yielding stress-tolerant lines or varieties under stresses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This review presents the view of the author, that is opinionable and even speculative, on the field of proteomics, its application to plant biology knowledge, and translation to biotechnology. Written in a more academic than scientific style, it is based on past original and review articles by the author´s group, and those published by leading scientists in the last two years. AREAS COVERED Starting with a general definition and references to historical milestones, it covers sections devoted to the different platforms employed, the plant biology discourse in the protein language, challenges and future prospects, ending with the author opinion. EXPERT OPINION In 25 years, five proteomics platform generations have appeared. We are now moving from proteomics to Systems Biology. While feasible with model organisms, proteomics of orphan species remains challenging. Proteomics, even in its simplest approach, sheds light on plant biological processes, central dogma, and molecular bases of phenotypes of interest, and it can be translated to areas such as food traceability and allergen detection. Proteomics should be validated and optimized to each experimental system, objectives, and hypothesis. It has limitations, artifacts, and biases. We should not blindly accept proteomics data and just create a list of proteins, networks, and avoid speculative biological interpretations. From the hundred to thousand proteins identified and quantified, it is important to obtain a focus and validate some of them, otherwise it is merely. We are starting to have the protein pieces, so let, from now, build the proteomics and biological puzzle.

Proteomics Data Analysis for the Identification of Proteins and Derived Proteotypic Peptides of Potential Use as Putative Drought Tolerance Markers for Quercus ilex. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22063191. [PMID: 33800973 PMCID: PMC8003919 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22063191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Drought is one of the main causes of mortality in holm oak (Quercus ilex) seedlings used in reforestation programs. Although this species shows high adaptability to the extreme climate conditions prevailing in Southern Spain, its intrinsic genetic variability may play a role in the differential response of some populations and individuals. The aim of this work was to identify proteins and derived proteotypic peptides potentially useful as putative markers for drought tolerance in holm oak by using a targeted post-acquisition proteomics approach. For this purpose, we used a set of proteins identified by shotgun (LC-MSMS) analysis in a drought experiment on Q. ilex seedlings from four different provenances (viz. the Andalusian provinces Granada, Huelva, Cadiz and Seville). A double strategy involving the quantification of proteins and target peptides by shotgun analysis and post-acquisition data analysis based on proteotypic peptides was used. To this end, an initial list of proteotypic peptides from proteins highly represented under drought conditions was compiled that was used in combination with the raw files from the shotgun experiment to quantify the relative abundance of the fragment’s ion peaks with the software Skyline. The most abundant peptides under drought conditions in at least two populations were selected as putative markers of drought tolerance. A total of 30 proteins and 46 derived peptides belonging to the redox, stress-related, synthesis,-folding and degradation, and primary and secondary metabolism functional groups were thus identified. Two proteins (viz., subtilisin and chaperone GrpE protein) were found at increased levels in three populations, which make them especially interesting for validation drought tolerance markers in subsequent experiments.

Abstract
To investigate the strawberry antioxidant defense system during fruit ripening, a targeted quantitative proteomic approach using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was developed to investigate targeted proteins in the antioxidant enzyme system in strawberry fruit. We investigated 46 proteins and isoforms with 73 identified peptides which may be involved in this antioxidant enzyme system. Among the proteins that changed during ripening, aldo/keto reductase (AKR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione transferase (GT) increased significantly, while dehydroascorbate reductase, 2-Cys peroxiredoxin, catalase (CAT), 1-Cys peroxiredoxin and L-ascorbate peroxidase (APX) decreased significantly. These results suggest that fruit ripening of strawberry activates the enzymes of an SOD/glutathione metabolism system. The methodologies used in this study will be useful for systematically characterizing the role of antioxidant enzymes in fruit ripening of other plants.

Current Trends in Proteomic Advances for Food Allergen Analysis. BIOLOGY 2020; 9:biology9090247.

Abstract
Food allergies are a global food challenge. For correct food labelling, the detection and quantification of allergens are necessary. However, novel product formulations and industrial processes produce new scenarios, which require much more technological developments. For this purpose, OMICS technologies, especially proteomics, seemed to be relevant in this context. This review summarises the current knowledge and studies that used proteomics to study food allergens. In the case of the allergenic proteins, a wide variety of isoforms, post-translational modifications and other structural changes during food processing can increase or decrease the allergenicity. Most of the plant-based food allergens are proteins with biological functions involved in storage, structure, and plant defence. The allergenicity of these proteins could be increased by the presence of heavy metals, air pollution, and pesticides. Targeted proteomics like selected/multiple reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM) have been very useful, especially in the case of gluten from wheat, rye and barley, and allergens from lentil, soy, and fruit. Conventional 1D and 2-DE immunoblotting have been further widely used. For animal-based food allergens, the widely used technologies are 1D and 2-DE immunoblotting followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF, and more recently LC-MS/MS, which is becoming useful to assess egg, fish, or milk allergens. The detection and quantification of allergenic proteins using mass spectrometry-based proteomics are promising and would contribute to greater accuracy, therefore improving consumer information.

Abstract
Hordeins are the major barley seed storage proteins and are elicitors of celiac disease. Attempts to reduce the hordein level in barley have been made; however, the resultant pleiotropic effects are less understood. Here, data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry was used to measure proteome-wide abundance differences between wild-type and single hordein-null barley lines. Using comparative quantitative proteomics, we detected proteome-wide changes (∼59%) as a result of the specific reduction in hordein proteins. The comparative analysis and functional annotation revealed an increase in non-gluten storage proteins, such as globulins and lipid transfer proteins, and proteins rich in essential amino acids in the null lines. This study yields an informative molecular portrait of the hordein-null lines and the underlying mechanisms of storage protein biosynthesis. This study indicates the extent to which protein content can be manipulated without biological consequence, and we envision its wide-scale application for studying modified crops.

Abstract
The third edition of "Plant Proteomics Methods and Protocols," with the title "Advances in Proteomics Techniques, Data Validation, and Integration with Other Classic and -Omics Approaches in the Systems Biology Direction," was conceived as being based on the success of the previous editions, and the continuous advances and improvements in proteomic techniques, equipment, and bioinformatics tools, and their uses in basic and translational plant biology research that has occurred in the past 5 years (in round figures, of around 22,000 publications referenced in WoS, 2000 were devoted to plants).The monograph contains 29 chapters with detailed proteomics protocols commonly employed in plant biology research. They present recent advances at all workflow stages, starting from the laboratory (tissue and cell fractionation, protein extraction, depletion, purification, separation, MS analysis, quantification) and ending on the computer (algorithms for protein identification and quantification, bioinformatics tools for data analysis, databases and repositories). At the end of each chapter there are enough explanatory notes and comments to make the protocols easily applicable to other biological systems and/or studies, discussing limitations, artifacts, or pitfalls. For that reason, as with the previous editions, it would be especially useful for beginners or novices.Out of the 29 chapters, six are devoted to descriptive proteomics, with a special emphasis on subcellular protein profiling (Chapters 5 - 10 ), six to PTMs (Chapters 11 , and 14 - 18 ), three to protein interactions (Chapters 19 - 21 ), and two to specific proteins, peroxidases (Chapter 24 ) and proteases and protease inhibitors (Chapter 26 ). The book reflects the new trajectory in MS-based protein identification and quantification, moving from the classic gel-based approaches to the most recent labeling (Chapters 10 , 11 , 29 ), shotgun (Chapters 5 , 7 , 12 , 15 ), parallel reaction monitoring (Chapter 16 ), and targeted data acquisition (Chapter 13 ). MS imaging (Chapter 25 ), the only in vivo MS-based proteomics strategy, is far from being fully optimized and exploited in plant biology research. A confident protein identification and quantitation, especially in orphan species, of low-abundance proteins, is still a challenging task (Chapters 4 , 28 ).What is really new is the use of different techniques for proteomics data validation and their integration into other classic and -omics approaches in the systems biology direction. Chapter 2 reports on multiple extractions in a single experiment of the different biomolecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Chapter 27 describes how metabolic pathways can be reconstructed from multiple -omics data, and Chapter 3 network building. Finally, Chapters 22 and 23 deal with, respectively, the search for allele-specific proteins and proteogenomics.Around 200 groups were, almost 1 year ago, invited to take part in this edition. Unfortunately, only 10% of them kindly accepted. My gratitude to those who accepted our invitation but also to those who did not, as all of them have contributed to the plant proteomics field. I will enlist, in this introductory chapter, following my own judgment, some of the relevant papers published in the past 5 years, those that have shown us how to enhance and exploit the potential of proteomics in plant biology research, without aiming at giving a too exhaustive list.

Quantitative assay of targeted proteome in tomato trichome glandular cells using a large-scale selected reaction monitoring strategy. PLANT METHODS 2019; 15:40.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glandular trichomes found in vascular plants are called natural cell factories because they synthesize and store secondary metabolites in glandular cells. To systematically understand the metabolic processes in glandular cells, it is indispensable to analyze cellular proteome dynamics. The conventional proteomics methods based on mass spectrometry have enabled large-scale protein analysis, but require a large number of trichome samples for in-depth analysis and are not suitable for rapid and sensitive quantification of targeted proteins. RESULTS Here, we present a high-throughput strategy for quantifying targeted proteins in specific trichome glandular cells, using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) assays. The SRM assay platform, targeting proteins in type VI trichome gland cells of tomato as a model system, demonstrated its effectiveness in quantifying multiple proteins from a limited amount of sample. The large-scale SRM assay uses a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer connected online to a nanoflow liquid chromatograph, which accurately measured the expression levels of 221 targeted proteins contained in the glandular cell sample recovered from 100 glandular trichomes within 120 min. Comparative quantitative proteomics using SRM assays of type VI trichome gland cells between different organs (leaves, green fruits, and calyx) revealed specific organ-enriched proteins. CONCLUSIONS We present a targeted proteomics approach using the established SRM assays which enables quantification of proteins of interest with minimum sampling effort. The remarkable success of the SRM assay and its simple experimental workflow will increase proteomics research in glandular trichomes.

Meeting the challenge of developing food crops with improved nutritional quality and food safety: leveraging proteomics and related omics techniques. Biotechnol Lett 2019; 41:471-481.

Abstract
Eliminating malnutrition remains an imminent priority in our efforts to achieve food security and providing adequate calories, proteins, and micronutrients to the growing world population. Malnutrition may be attributed to socio-economic factors (poverty and limited accessibility to nutritional food), dietary preferences, inherent nutrient profiles of traditional food crops, and to a combination of all such factors. Modern advancements in "omics" technology have made it possible to reliably predict, diagnose, and suggest ways to remedy the low protein content and bioavailability of key micronutrients in food crops. In this review, we briefly describe how proteomics techniques can potentially be used for improving the nutrient profile of major crops, through high throughput multiplexed assays. Food safety is another important issue where proteomics and related platforms can offer solution for absolute quantitation of food allergens and mycotoxins present in the plant-based food. The purpose of the present review is to discuss the proteomic-based strategies in food crops to meet the challenges of overcoming malnutrition throughout the world.
