TL;DR: This is the first time that a protocol for protein extraction from olive leaf appears to give satisfactory and reproducible results, and is expected to be applicable to other recalcitrant plant tissues and could be of interest to laboratories involved in plant proteomics.

TL;DR: Results clearly showed that the variations of oleuropein-degradative-β-glucosidases activity during ripening are due to changes in the competence of single mesocarp cells to synthesize the enzyme isoforms.

TL;DR: Details on the approaches utilized are reported and the potential of the data that will come from this synergistic approach not only for P. oceanica but for seagrasses in general are forecast.

TL;DR: This work aimed to identify differences in transcriptomic and proteomic profiles, involved in the acclimation along the depth gradient in the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, and to improve the available molecular resources in this species, which is an important requisite for the application of eco-genomic approaches.

TL;DR: Under low-light conditions, four components of the ubiquitin/mediated proteolysis pathway, and the perchloric acid soluble translation inhibitor protein, were upregulated, suggesting that, in P. oceanica leaves, enhanced protein turnover mediates acclimation to low- light conditions.
