Nystose regulates the response of rice roots to cold stress via multiple signaling pathways: A comparative proteomics analysis.

Small fructans improve plant tolerance for cold stress. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we have demonstrated that the small fructan tetrasaccharide nystose improves the cold stress tolerance of primary rice roots.

Proteomic analysis of 2-chloroethanol extracts of rice ( L.) seeds.

Ethanol-soluble proteins, including prolamins, are one of the most important seed proteins in rice ( L.). However, little is known about the proteomic profile of ethanol-soluble protein fraction extracted from rice grain.

Oxidative stress response mechanism of Scenedesmus obliquus to ionic liquids with different number of methyl-substituents.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have become persistent contaminants in water because of their good solubility and low biodegradability. The oxidative stress responses of Scenedesmus obliquus to three imidazole ILs with different number of methyl-substituents, i.e.

Integrated analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome of purple and green leaves of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum reveals gene expression patterns involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis.

To gain better insight into the regulatory networks of anthocyanin biosynthesis, an integrated analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome in purple and green leaves of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum was conducted. Transcript and metabolite profiles were archived by RNA-sequencing data analysis and LC-ESI-MS/MS, respectively. There were 209 metabolites and 4211 transcripts that were differentially expressed between purple and green leaves.

Oxidative stress response and proteomic analysis reveal the mechanisms of toxicity of imidazolium-based ionic liquids against Arabidopsis thaliana.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are extensively used in various fields, posing a potential threat in the ecosystem because of their high stability, excellent solubility, and biological toxicity. In this study, the toxicity mechanism of three ILs, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([CMIM]Cl), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([CMIM]Cl), and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([CMIM]Cl) on Arabidopsis thaliana were revealed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level increased with higher concentration and longer carbon chain length of ILs, which led to the increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and antioxidase activity, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and peroxidase (POD) activities.

Comparative proteomic analysis reveals alterations in development and photosynthesis-related proteins in diploid and triploid rice.

Background: Polyploidy has pivotal influences on rice (Oryza sativa L.) morphology and physiology, and is very important for understanding rice domestication and improving agricultural traits. Diploid (DP) and triploid (TP) rice shows differences in morphological parameters, such as plant height, leaf length, leaf width and the physiological index of chlorophyll content.

Differential Proteomic Analysis Using iTRAQ Reveals Alterations in Hull Development in Rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Rice hull, the outer cover of the rice grain, determines grain shape and size. Changes in the rice hull proteome in different growth stages may reflect the underlying mechanisms involved in grain development. To better understand these changes, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative (iTRAQ) MS/MS was used to detect statistically significant changes in the rice hull proteome in the booting, flowering, and milk-ripe growth stages.
