On-demand Webinar: A day in the life of plants: Proteomic insights into plant growth and development

 

As sessile organisms, plants are highly attuned to the passage of time. To adapt to their dynamic daily environment and respond to stress, they tightly regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and light-responsive (reactive) mechanisms. Until now, much of our understanding of diel plant cell regulation has come from genetic and transcriptomic studies. However, advancements in mass spectrometry–driven quantitative proteomics offer an exciting new frontier for exploring the plant cellular environment.

To support this effort, we have developed new proteome acquisition workflows that address the high complexity and dynamic range of plant samples, improving our ability to quantify low-abundance proteins of interest (e.g., protein kinases and transcription factors). We are especially focused on applying these workflows to develop a proteome-centric understanding of how diel biology intersects with abiotic stress responses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
 

Join this on-demand webinar to learn:

  • How plants use circadian and light-responsive mechanisms to regulate their processes in response to daily changes and stress.
  • The latest advancements in mass spectrometry–driven proteomics and their impact on understanding the plant cellular environment.
  • New mass spectrometry acquisition workflows that enhance the quantification of low-abundance proteins in plant proteomics.
