Differential effects of a post-anthesis fertilizer regimen on the wheat flour proteome determined by quantitative 2-DE.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mineral nutrition during wheat grain development has large effects on wheat flour protein content and composition, which in turn affect flour quality and immunogenic potential for a commodity of great economic value. However, it has been difficult to define the precise effects of mineral nutrition on protein composition because of the complexity of the wheat flour proteome. Recent improvements in the identification of flour proteins by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and the availability of a comprehensive proteome map of flour from the US wheat Butte 86 now make it possible to document changes in the proportions of individual flour proteins that result from the application of mineral nutrition.

Results

Plants of Triticum aestivum 'Butte 86' were grown with or wi
