responses of plants to salinity stress and development of salt tolerance are extremely complex and various mechanisms appear to be involved. we employed a proteomic approach to study the mechanism of plant responses to salinity in a sensitive cultivar of barley (527 line). three-week-old seedlings were treated with 300 mm nacl for 3 weeks. total proteins of fourth leaf were extracted and separa...

a proteomic approach was conducted to further understand the mechanism of plant responses to salinity in hordeum bulbosom. three-week-old seedlings were treated with 300 mm of nacl for 21 days. total proteins of fourth leaf were extracted and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. more than 500 protein spots were reproducibly detected, including 46 spots that were up-regulated and 16...

background: in this study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de) method was applied to determine and compare the protein spots expressed in the two field isolates of leishmania major and recovered from the patients who were clinically sensitive and resistant to glucantime® treatment. methods: leishmania parasites were isolated from the cutaneous lesions of two cl infected patients in shira...

two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-d electrophoresis) is a powerful and extensively used method for analysis of complex protein mixtures extracted from cells, tissue, or other biological samples such as helminth parasites including, f. hepatica. each spot on the resulting two-dimensional collection corresponds to a single protein species in the sample. this study was carried out to detect of gs...

The Medicago truncatula line 2HA has a 500-fold greater capacity to regenerate plants in culture by somatic embryogenesis than wild-type Jemalong. We have compared proteomes of tissue cultures from leaf explants of these two lines. Both 2HA and Jemalong explants were grown on media containing the auxin 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and the cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine. Proteins were extracted from ...

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide. We report here a proteomic approach to investigate the impact of post-fertilization drought on grain quality in rice seed endosperm (Oryza sativa cv. IR-64). Plants were stressed for 4 days at 3 days before heading. Total proteins of endosperm were extracted and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Not ma...

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) was used to systematically investigate the impact of solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on the soybean leaf proteome. In order to investigate the protective role of flavonoids against UV-B, two isolines of the Clark cultivar (the standard line with moderate levels of flavonoids and the magenta line with reduced flavonoids) were gro...

The silk gland of the silkworm Bombyx mori undergoes programmed cell death (PCD) during pupal metamorphosis. On the basis of their morphological changes and the occurrence of a DNA ladder, the tissue cells were categorized into three groups: intact, committed, and dying. To identify the proteins involved in this process, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis. Protein expression changes ...

because of the huge amounts of proteomic data and demand for new methods of laboratory analysis results, proteins collective analysis, in addition to taking less time, biostatistician assist at identification of new patterns in the data set. in this study, rat hippocampus proteome in normal and alzheimer's disease (ad) were analyzed by using proteomic techniques and bioinformatics’ analysis. pr...

background: the mechanisms of virulence and species differences of leishmania parasites are under the influence of gene expression regulations at posttranscriptional stages. in iran, l. major and l. tropica are known as principal agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis, while l. infantum causes visceral leishmaniasis. methods: as a preliminary study, we compared the proteome mapping of the above thre...
