Abstract Rice is not only an important agricultural resource but also a model plant for biological research. Our previous review highlighted different aspects of the construction of rice proteome database, cataloguing rice proteins of different tissues and organelle, differential proteomics using 2‐DE and functional characterization of some of the proteins identified (Komatsu, S., Tanaka, N., Proteomics 2005, 5 , 938–949). In this review, the powerfulness and weaknesses of proteomic technologies as a whole and limitations of the currently used techniques in rice proteomics are discussed. The information obtained from these techniques regarding proteins modification, protein‐protein interaction and the development of new methods for differential proteomics will aid in deciphering more precisely the functions of known and/or unknown proteins in rice.
