Quantitative Proteomics of Maize Roots Treated with a Protein Hydrolysate: A Comparative Study with Transcriptomics Highlights the Molecular Mechanisms Responsive to Biostimulants.

Protein hydrolysate (PH)-based biostimulants offer a cost-effective and sustainable approach for the regulation of physiological processes in plants to stimulate growth and improve stress tolerance. Understanding the mode of action of PHs is challenging, but it is indispensable to improve existing candidates and to develop novel molecules with enhanced stimulatory effects. Hence, the present study aimed to understand the proteome level responses in the B73 maize roots treated with APR, a PH biostimulant, at two increasing concentrations and to compare and integrate it with the transcriptomic data obtained previously under identical experimental conditions.

In-Depth Investigation of Low-Abundance Proteins in Matured and Filling Stages Seeds of Employing a Combination of Protamine Sulfate Precipitation and TMT-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis.

Despite the significant technical advancements in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and bioinformatics resources, dynamic resolution of soybean seed proteome is still limited because of the high abundance of seed storage proteins (SSPs). These SSPs occupy a large proportion of the total seed protein and hinder the identification of low-abundance proteins. Here, we report a TMT-based quantitative proteome analysis of matured and filling stages seeds of high-protein (Saedanbaek) and low-protein (Daewon) soybean cultivars by application of a two-way pre-fractionation both at the levels of proteins (by PS) and peptides (by basic pH reverse phase chromatography).

Concepts and strategies of soybean seed proteomics using the shotgun proteomics approach.

: The last decade has yielded significant developments in the field of proteomics, especially in mass spectrometry (MS) and data analysis tools. In particular, a shift from gel-based to MS-based proteomics has been observed, thereby providing a platform with which to construct proteome atlases for all life forms. Nevertheless, the analysis of plant proteomes, especially those of samples that contain high-abundance proteins (HAPs), such as soybean seeds, remains challenging.

Phosphoproteome data from abscisic acid and ethylene treated leaves.

The data reported here are associated with the article "Comparative phosphoproteome analysis upon ethylene and abscisic acid treatment in leaves" [1]. Phosphorylation plays a critical role in the regulation of the biological activities of proteins. However, phosphorylation-mediated regulation of proteins and pathways involved in ethylene (ET) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling is currently poorly understood.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Leaves Reveals Key Changes in Response to MSP1.

Rice blast disease, caused by , results in an extensive loss of rice productivity.

Here, we report the transcriptome profile of MSP1-induced response in rice, which led to the identification of 21,619 genes, among which 4,386 showed significant changes ( < 0.

Comparative phosphoproteome analysis upon ethylene and abscisic acid treatment in Glycine max leaves.

Abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene play key roles in growth and development of plants. Several attempts have been made to investigate the ABA and ethylene-induced signaling in plants, however, the involvement of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in fine-tuning of the induced response has not been investigated much. Here, a phosphoproteomic analysis was carried out to identify the phosphoproteins in response to ABA, ethylene (ET) and combined ABA + ET treatments in soybean leaves.
