Proteomic analysis of an unsequenced plant - Mangifera indica

► Proteomics of mango leaves was performed using high-resolution mass spectrometry. ► MS/MS searches against mango ESTs and related plant species proteins were done. ► In addition, de novo sequencing followed by homology search was done. ► A total of 538 proteins were identified based on identity and/or homology. ► This study is significant as the genome of mango plant has not yet been sequenced.
