Seed protein electrophoresis in plant genetics: Commemorating the pioneering contributions of Prof. Chittaranjan Kole and team to the foundation of plant proteomics.
Review in The plant genome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite the rapid progress of proteomics in human and other model organisms, plant proteomics has advanced at a comparatively slower pace. This review aims to highlight the pioneering work on seed protein markers detected by employing gel electrophoresis primarily by a team of Indian scientists that paved the way for elucidation of intervarietal and interspecific variation, evolution, and phylogenetic relationship of species and their association with resistance to pest and diseases. Far from being replaced, gel electrophoresis remains as an excellent supporting and different approach, offering a pathway to a more profound visualization and understanding of the cell proteome. This review focuses on how, from a historical standpoint, gel electrophoresis has significantly contributed to plant proteomics and other biological research. Acknowledging the pioneering work on seed storage proteins, this review serves as both a congratulatory gesture and a tribute to the eminent scientist Prof. Chittaranjan Kole and his team who pioneered the strategy of seed protein electrophoresis in crop biology research. Their findings, both directly and indirectly, have proven invaluable, particularly for those who ventured into proteomics without easy reach to sophisticated and expensive instruments/equipment to pursue DNA-based genomics research. This gel electrophoresis-based plant proteomics review includes the evolution of gel-based proteomics, their contribution to crop biology research, and future directions. It stands not only as a retrospective analysis but also as a testament to the enduring significance of gel electrophoresis in shaping the landscape of crop proteomics.
