High throughput and in-depth single-cell proteomics for plant cells


EMSL Project ID
51688

Abstract

In support of the "Single-cell biology" value stream in EMSD/EMSL DigiPhen Motivation, we propose to develop a high throughput and in-depth single-cell proteomics platform. We aim to reliably quantify > 1500 proteins from single cells at a throughput of >200 single cells per day. The advances will be enabled by two key developments: 1) Reduce the processing volume by an order of magnitude; 2) Establish a boosting-free multiplex labeling method. We will demonstrate the application of the scProteomics to study the regulatory pathways of plants in response to abiotic stress at single-cell resolution and to identify key stress-tolerance genes. The scProteomics platform will significantly enhance both EMSL's functional omics and molecular plant phenotyping capabilities. The new capability will benefit current EMSL users and many prospective users.
