Amaranth is a promising staple food that produces seeds with excellent nutritional quality. Although cultivated species intended for grain production have interesting agronomic traits, relatively little is known about wild species, which can prosper in diverse environments and could be a rich genetic source for crop improvement. This work focuses on the proteomic comparison between the seeds of wild and cultivated amaranth species using polarity-based protein extraction and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) showed changes in granule-bound starch synthases and a wide range of 11S globulin isoforms. The electrophoretic profile of these proteins suggests that they may contain significant phosphorylation as post-translational modifications (PTMs), which were confirmed via immunodetection. These PTMs may impact the physicochemical functionality of storage proteins, with potential implications for seed agronomic traits and food system applications. Low-abundant DAPs with highly variable accumulation patterns are also discussed; these were involved in diverse molecular processes, such as genic regulation, lipid storage, and stress response.
