Proteome profile of salt gland-rich epidermis extracted from a salt-tolerant tree species
Wee-Kee Tan,Yiqian Ang,Teck Kwang Lim,Tit Meng Lim,Prakash P. Kumar,Chiang-Shiong Loh,Qingsong Lin +6 more
TL;DR: Protein extraction was markedly improved using a phenol‐based extraction method, and the approach could thus be applied for downstream high‐throughput proteomic analyses involving LC‐MS/MS or equivalent.

Characterization of Aroma Active Components of Four Apiaceae Vegetable Varieties by Gas Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry/Olfactometry and Chemometrics
Chenyu Qian,Li Zou,Wee-Kee Tan,C. Ong +3 more
TL;DR: This study characterizes the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in four Apiaceae vegetables (parsley, coriander, stalk celery, and leaf celery) using GC-QTOFMS and GC-O, revealing distinct VOC profiles and unique aromas shaped by monoterpenoids, aldehydes, and phthalides.
Recent Advances in Superabsorbent Hydrogels Derived from Agro Waste Materials for Sustainable Agriculture: A Review.
Jingling Zhu,Zhongxing Zhang,Yuting Wen,Xiaojin Song,Wee-Kee Tan,Choon Nam Ong,Jun Li +6 more
TL;DR: This review examines recent advances in superabsorbent hydrogels derived from agro waste materials, highlighting their potential for sustainable agriculture, water conservation, and reduced waste and greenhouse gas emissions through various production methods and applications.
A simple, rapid method to isolate salt glands for three-dimensional visualization, fluorescence imaging and cytological studies
TL;DR: The study of salt glands directly at the glandular level are made possible with the successful isolation of these specialized structures and cytological information obtained herein could be further incorporated towards the understanding of the mechanism underlying secretion in plant salt glands.
Dynamic secretion changes in the salt glands of the mangrove tree species Avicennia officinalis in response to a changing saline environment
TL;DR: It is proposed that aquaporins are involved and contribute to the re-absorption of water during salt removal in Avicennia officinalis salt glands, an adaptive feature that contributes to salt balance of trees growing in saline environments where freshwater availability is limited.
