Preface
Although the global food production has increased in recent decades, the global food demand increases more rapidly than production. It has been reported by FAO that demand for cereals will increase by 70 % by 2050 as an outcome of both larger populations and higher per-capita consumption among communities with growing incomes. To meet higher demand, growing more food at affordable prices becomes even more important. Agricultural proteomics can play a role in addressing the growing demand for food. The application of proteome science in agriculture has allowed researchers to identify a broad spectrum of proteins in living systems and associates them to many major traits. It may give clues not only about nutritional value, but also about yield production and food quality and how environments affect these factors. In recent years, technical improvements in the mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, protein extraction, and separation have made the high-throughput analysis of agricultural products feasible and the reproducibility of the technology has reduced errors in assaying protein levels. Meanwhile, the application of mass spectrometry-based quantification methods has become mainstream in rece
