Updated FTP location. Total proteins were extracted from randomly selected mesocarp fruitlets and subjected to label-free liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Mass spectra were acquired using Thermo Xcalibur and deconvoluted with Proteome Discoverer 2.2 to create the mass list. Sequsest search engine was used to match the generated mass list against Elaeis guineensis and Phoenix datylifera protein sequences in NCBI. Standard protein search parameters were applied.
