Plant responses to abiotic stresses are very complex phenomena with individual characteristics for various species. Abiotic stresses (e.g. drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, UV radiation, heavy metals, etc.) strongly affect plant growth and development. It is estimated that they are the cause of more than 50 % of crop yield losses. Abiotic stresses are known to activate a multigene response resulting in the changes in various proteins and primary and secondary metabolite accumulation. Therefore, proteomic and metabolomic approaches are becoming very important and powerful tools used in studying plants' reaction to various stimuli. Precise analysis of proteome and metabolome is essential for understanding the fundamentals of stress physiology and biochemistry. In this review, we focus on recent reports concerned to the influence of abiotic stresses on changes in the level of different protein groups and metabolite classes. Basic information about physicochemical methods applied to qualitative and quantitative analyses of biopolymers and natural products is also briefly presented.
