Plants are irreplaceable in the food chain, providing food and oxygen for essentially all organisms, and they regulate the climate of the planet. Proteins play a key role in controlling all aspects of life, including plants. Under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), a team of scientists has now mapped around 18,000 of the proteins found in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
