There is still no consensus on the true origin of fatal yellowing [FY], one of the most important diseases affecting oil palms (_Elaeis guineensis_). This study involved 2-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (2D-UPLC-MSE) analyses to identify changes in protein profiles of oil palms affected by FY disease.
Oil palm roots were sampled from 2 growing areas. Differential accumulation of proteins was assessed by comparing plants with and without symptoms and
