Abstract

Proteins are essential for genetic products and their study contributes to obtaining regulatory information. Multiomics techniques are used to improve agronomic characteristics and increase agricultural tolerance, the use of these techniques can serve as a basis to improve the genetic heritage of crops, increasing their yields and tolerance to environmental factors. Proteomic analysis makes it possible to understand all the functions, structures, and interactions of proteins present in a biological system. Through a systematic review, a search was carried out, finding 15 articles related to the proteomic technique and its application in agriculture. In proteomic analysis, one of the main advantages is the ability to study protein expression on a large scale in diverse complex biological systems and at different times and conditions.  Proteomic technology has been widely used in identifying proteome changes in signaling pathways in response to stress, detecting biotic and abiotic stress markers, which can be applied in the development of genetically modified crops. These advances in plant proteomics have the potential to revolutionize agriculture by providing sustainable and adaptable solutions to address future food production challenges.
