Research Progress in Bryophyte Proteomics

doi:10.11983/CBB25094

Abstract

Abstract: Research on the proteomics of bryophytes is of great significance for revealing the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to terrestrial environments. As one of the earliest plants to colonize land, bryophytes provide a unique model system for studying how plants adapt to changes in terrestrial environments. Through proteomic approaches, we can gain in-depth insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses, growth and development, and evolutionary processes in bryophytes. This is of considerable value for elucidating the evolutionary history and mechanisms of plant adaptability. Furthermore, studies on bryophyte proteomics offer new perspectives and tools for plant science, aiding our understanding of plant responses and adaptive strategies to environmental changes. This review summarizes recent advances in bryophyte proteomics, focusing on abiotic stress responses, growth and developmental regulation, protein modifications, organelle functions, metabolic processes, and evolutionary adaptations. It further highlights the significance of these findings in understanding plant adaptation mechanisms.

Key words: bryophytes, proteomics, stress response, growth and development, evolutionary process
