Southwest Asia, in most parts, is recognized as arid and semi-arid ecosystems (For instance around 90% in Iran). Abiotic stresses, especially salt and drought, are main stresses in this region that limit the crop yields. Furthermore, the level of soil salinization is increasing. Therefore, many researchers are focusing on these two stresses. Specifically, in Iran, the use of plant proteomics dates back to more than a decade. During these years, many researchers employed this powerful technique to elucidate molecular basis of plant response to cope with environmental stresses and to apply related mechanisms to generate stress-tolerant varieties. PlantPRes (www.proteome.ir) which is a database for Plant Proteome Response to stress has been recently established. In this review, we discuss the work which has been done by plant proteomics researchers and their corresponding publications to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying drought-, salt-, heat-, cold- and biotic-tolerance in plants followed by a whole data integration to depict a detailed picture of upregulated or downregulated cellular functions for important goal of generating more resilient cultivars appropriate for semi-arid climate.

蛋白质组学如何针对半干旱地区的植物环境胁迫？

西南亚大部分地区被认为是干旱和半干旱的生态系统（例如，伊朗约90％）。非生物胁迫，特别是盐和干旱，是该地区限制作物产量的主要胁迫。此外，土壤盐渍化水平正在增加。因此，许多研究人员将注意力集中在这两个压力上。具体来说，在伊朗，植物蛋白质组学的使用可以追溯到十多年前。在这些年中，许多研究人员利用这种强大的技术来阐明植物应对环境胁迫的分子基础，并运用相关的机制来产生耐逆性品种。最近已经建立了PlantPRes（www.proteome.ir），该数据库是植物蛋白质组对压力的响应数据库。在这篇评论中
