Title: Proteomics in Shaping the Future of Biofertiliser Delivery Technique
Abstract: Proteomics is the scientific study of proteins and their biochemical identification. Proteome of the host plant is believed to be regulated by environmental conditions as well as by relationship of plant with rhizobacteria. Some crucial factors affecting the plant proteome are disease state, insect damage, developmental stage, cell and tissue type, environmental stress and soil conditions. The plant-microbe interaction can induce an intense impact on protein constituents and proteomics. Proteomics can be stated as the indirect tool for unravelling the plant-microbe interactions. Application of proteomics can be used to study pathogenicity, pathogen-related stress and expression of antioxidant proteins produced in response to interaction of microbe with host plant. Therefore, proteome of the host plant can be studied to reveal the changes induced by a microbe inoculation in host plant. The function and the structure of protein molecules involved in plant-microbe interaction can be explored through proteomics. Several techniques including mass spectrometry and microarray technology can be used to study the proteome of the microbe. This technique is into the practice for the recent times, and knowledge of proteomics for studying plant-microbe interaction is still incomplete and insignificant. This chapter provides understanding of different techniques for the study of plant growth promotion of microbes through protein identification and quantification. The future prospective of utilising proteomics to elucidate the proteome-level fluctuations for improvisations in biofertiliser industry has been discussed.
