| Description | Genomic assays have been widely used to elucidate responses to stimulus, but many biological processes are still unclear. In these cases, a new approach should be used, which would reflect responses preceding the transcriptomic ones or independent of mRNA expression, for example response transduced through posttranslational modification of proteins. Phosphorylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications of proteins. At least 5% of Arabidopsis thaliana genome is responsible for regulation of protein phosphorylation, which indicates that nearly all aspects of cell function involve reversible phosphorylation. It is also a major issue in modern proteomics. We present the use of proteomics in study of plant signaling and possible way to uncover external stimulus perception in plants. |
