Proteomics as a Toolbox to Study the Metabolic Adjustment of Trees During Exposure to Metal Trace Elements

摘要: Although trees form an important part of the global environment, use proteomics in study environmental adaptation trees, and specifically heavy metal exposure, is currently limited. This lack studies mainly due to characteristics making them difficult species work with but can also partially be attributed limited genetic information that available for most tree species. In this chapter, tools their potential, limits, are used proteome will discussed.
