“…Forty years can be considered a long time, but the fact is that the study of proteins within the term proteomics (Wilkins et al, ) is quite young, fluid, and diversifying as a technology. Being part of the three young high‐throughput omics technologies of genomics (transcriptomics), proteomics, and metabolomics, which are now, allied to high‐throughput phenotyping (phenomics), and being amalgamated into the field of systems biology (Ward & White, ; Bradshaw & Burlingame, ; Bradshaw, ; Souchelnytskyi, ; Coruzzi, Rodrigo, & Guttierrez, ). The relatively younger face of plant proteomics can be realized when we see its wide‐spread application in isolation, identification & cataloguing of proteins, and addressing/answering biological questions from 2000 to now, more than a decade of research in plant proteomics (for reviews and books see, Finnie, ; Samaj & Thelen, ; Thiellement, ; Agrawal & Rakwal, ; Ranjithakumari, ; Weckwerth et al, ; Agrawal et al, ) (Fig.…”
