  With proteomic analysis including 2-DE, image analysis, and protein identification with MALDI-TOF/MS, an investigation aiming at a enhanced understanding of the whole fruit proteome and differentially expressed proteins and/or gene products was carried out with total fruit extracts from Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum assamicum) and less pungent Capsicum frutescens. A total of 107 dominant protein spots have been identified here using a 2-DE/MS technique. Among the identified proteins, 14 proteins exhibited qualitative difference with unique expression in Bhut Jolokia and 6 proteins showed quantitative differential expression alterations. Among the 6 differential proteins, one was down-regulated and 5 were up-regulated. Apart from the unique and differential proteins for which a cluster of orthologous groups (COG) could not be assigned (36.84%), most of the dominant unique and differentially e.. View More»
