Abstract

Proteomics analysis was a powerful technology for characterizing proteins and protein posttranslational modification (PTMs). Recently, many anther and pollen-related proteomic analyses have been reported, which have expanded our understanding of anther and pollen development and regulation. In this chapter, we describe a detailed, optimized protocol for the separation, digestion, tagging, and subsequent mass spectrometry-based identification and quantification of proteins and phosphoproteins from anther and pollen.
