Proteome Analysis for Understanding Abiotic Stress (Salinity and Drought) Tolerance in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)

Table 3

Identified proteins (when the protein was found in several spots only the most intensively changed spot is listed; the exception is RubisCO fragments). (A) Spots with higher abundance in stress compared to control. (B) Spots with lower abundance. The spots written in bold were significantly changed in both stresses. The rest of the spots changed significantly only in salt stress.
