Abstract

This review is devoted to the proteomes of the complex developmental stages of dicotyledoneous (dicot) plant materials. The two core technologies, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) and mass spectrometry (MS), independently or in combination with each other, are propelling dicot plant proteomics to new discoveries and functions, with the establishment of tissue-specific and organelle proteomes, mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, revealing their complexity and specificity. These experimental proteomes have provided a good start towards the establishment of high-density 2-DGE reference maps and peptide mass fingerprint databases, for not only the model dicot plants, A. thaliana and M. truncatula, but also other important dicot plants, which will serve as a basis for proteomes of many other dicot plants and plant materials.
