L. M. C. Gomes, Gesteira, A. S., de Almeida, A. - A. F., de Castro, A. V., Dias, L. O., Pirovani, C. P., and Gomes, F. P., Changes in protein profile detected in seedlings of Caesalpinia peltophoroides (Fabaceae) after exposure to high concentration of cadmium, vol. 11, pp. 2694-2707, 2012.

Sibipiruna (Caesalpinia peltophoroides Benth) is a tree of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is a flowering ornamental tree widely planted throughout Brazil and indicated for restoration of degraded areas. We examined protein profile changes in leaves of seedlings of C. peltophoroides grown in nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions, after exposure to cadmium (Cd; 32 mg/L). A two-dimensional gel was used to analyze proteins expressed in response to stress 24 and 72 h after initiation of treatment with Cd.
