Proteomic data set of the analysis of black poplar (Populus nigra L.) seed storability

Proteomic data set containing protein identification parameters (ESI MS/MS) and GO annotation functional classification (UniProt and QuickGO). Identification parameters of differentially abundant proteins of black poplar (<em>Populus nigra</em> L.) seeds stored in different temperature (3, -3, -20 and -196°C) and time (12 and 24 months) conditions. Proteins were extracted and separated according to their isoelectric point (pI) and mass using 2-dimensional electrophoresis. Proteins that varied in abundance for temperature and time of storage were identified by mass spectrometry (ESI MS/MS). The mascot search algorithm (http://www.matrixscience.com) was used for protein identification against the NCBInr (http://www.ncbi.nig.gov) databases.Identified proteins were grouped due to biological process, molecular function and subcellular localization according to the gene ontology (GO) annotation using UniProt database and QuickGO search (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/).
