Characterization of the orthodox Pinus occidentalis seed and pollen proteomes by using complementary gel-based and gel-free approaches

In this work we characterized P. occidentalis proteome with seeds and pollen samples implementing two complementary approaches for the analysis. We found a high content of storage protein, stress response and metabolism related proteins in the seed proteome. Similarly, in the pollen proteome we found predominant groups of proteins related to metabolism and stress response.
