Abstract

Abstract: In plants, proteins are fundamental to virtually all biological processes, such as photosynthesis, signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and stress responses. Studying protein distribution, function, modifications, and interactions at the cellular and tissue levels is critical for unraveling the complexities of these biological pathways. Protein abundance and localization are highly dynamic and vary widely across the proteome, presenting a challenge for global protein quantification and analysis. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches have proven to be powerful tools for addressing this complex issue. In this review, we summarize recent advancements in proteomics research and their applications in plant biology, with an emphasis on the current state and challenges of studying post-translational modifications, single-cell proteomics, and protein–protein interactions. Additionally, we discuss future prospects for plant proteomics, highlighting potential opportunities that proteomics technologies offer in advancing plant biology research.

Key words: mass spectrometry, plant biology, post‐translational modification (PTM), proteomics
