Advances and opportunities in unraveling cold-tolerance mechanisms in the world's primary staple food crops. THE PLANT GENOME 2024; 17:e20402. [PMID: 37957947 DOI: 10.1002/tpg2.20402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Temperatures below or above optimal growth conditions are among the major stressors affecting productivity, end-use quality, and distribution of key staple crops including rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and maize (Zea mays L.). Among temperature stresses, cold stress induces cellular changes that cause oxidative stress and slowdown metabolism, limit growth, and ultimately reduce crop productivity. Perception of cold stress by plant cells leads to the activation of cold-responsive transcription factors and downstream genes, which ultimately impart cold tolerance. The response triggered in crops to cold stress includes gene expression/suppression, the accumulation of sugars upon chilling, and signaling molecules, among others. Much of the information on the effects of cold stress on perception, signal transduction, gene expression, and plant metabolism are available in the model plant Arabidopsis but somewhat lacking in major crops. Hence, a complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which staple crops respond to cold stress remain largely unknown. Here, we make an effort to elaborate on the molecular mechanisms employed in response to low-temperature stress. We summarize the effects of cold stress on the growth and development of these crops, the mechanism of cold perception, and the role of various sensors and transducers in cold signaling. We discuss the progress in cold tolerance research at the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome levels and highlight how these findings provide opportunities for designing cold-tolerant crops for the future.

Elucidation of the Mechanism of Rapid Growth Recovery in Rice Seedlings after Exposure to Low-Temperature Low-Light Stress: Analysis of Rice Root Transcriptome, Metabolome, and Physiology. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17359. [PMID: 38139187 PMCID: PMC10743590 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Late spring cold is a disastrous weather condition that often affects early rice seedlings in southern China, limiting the promotion of direct seeding cultivation. However, there are few reports on the effect of these events and on the growth recovery mechanism of rice root systems after rice seedlings are exposed to this stress. This study selected the strong-growth-recovery variety B116 (R310/R974, F17) and the slow-recovery variety B811 (Zhonghui 286) for direct seeding cultivation and exposed them to low temperature and low-light stress to simulate a late spring cold event in an artificial climate chamber. The treatment consisted of 4 days of exposure to a day/night temperature of 14/10 °C and a light intensity of 266 µmol m-2s-1 while the control group was kept at a day/night temperature of 27/25 °C and light intensity of 533 µmol m-2s-1. The results showed that 6 days after stress, the total length, surface area, and volume of B116 roots increased by 335.5%, 290.1%, and 298.5%, respectively, while those of B811 increased by 228.8%, 262.0%, and 289.1%, respectively. In B116, the increase in root fresh weight was 223.1%, and that in B811 was 165.6%, demonstrating rapid root recovery after stress and significant differences among genotypes. The content of H2O2 and MDA in the B116 roots decreased faster than that in the B811 roots after normal light intensity and temperature conditions were restored, and the activity of ROS metabolism enzymes was stronger in B116 roots than in B811 roots. The correlation analysis between the transcriptome and metabolome showed that endogenous signal transduction and starch and sucrose metabolism were the main metabolic pathways affecting the rapid growth of rice seedling roots after exposure to combined stress from low temperature and low light intensities. The levels of auxin and sucrose in the roots of the strong-recovery variety B116 were higher, and this variety's metabolism was downregulated significantly faster than that of B811. The auxin response factor and sucrose synthesis-related genes SPS1 and SUS4 were significantly upregulated. This study contributes to an understanding of the rapid growth recovery mechanism in rice after exposure to combined stress from low-temperature and low-light conditions.

Lin W, Wu S, Wei M. Ubiquitylome analysis reveals the involvement of ubiquitination in the cold responses of banana seedling leaves. J Proteomics 2023; 288:104994. [PMID: 37598917 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.104994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
Low temperature is a crucial environmental factor limiting the productivity and distribution of banana. Ubiquitination (Kub) is one of the main posttranslational modifications (PTMs) involved in plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, little information is available on the effects of Kub on banana under cold stress. In this study, we used label-free quantification (LFQ) to identify changes in the protein expression and Kub levels in banana seedling leaves after chilling treatment. In total, 4156 proteins, 1089 ubiquitinated proteins and 2636 Kub sites were quantified. Western blot assays showed that Kub was abundant in leaves after low-temperature treatment. Our results show that the proteome and ubiquitylome were negatively correlated, indicating that Kub could be involved in the degradation of proteins in banana after chilling treatment. Based on bioinformatics analysis, low-temperature stress-related signals and metabolic pathways such as cold acclimation, glutathione metabolism, calcium signaling, and photosynthesis signaling were identified. In addition, we found that transcription factors and chromatin remodeling factors related to low-temperature stress were ubiquitinated. Overall, our work presents the first systematic analysis of the Kub proteome in banana under cold stress and provides support for future studies on the regulatory mechanisms of Kub during the cold stress response in plants. SIGNIFICANCE: Banana is a typical tropical fruit tree with poor low-temperature tolerance,however, the role of PTMs such as Kub in the cold response of banana remains unclear. This study highlights the fact that the effects of low-temperature on proteome and ubiquitylome in the banana seedling leaves, we discussed the correlation between transcriptome and proteome, ubiquitylome and proteome, and we analyzed the expression and the changes of ubiquitination levels of low-temperature related proteins and pathway after chilling treatment, and we found that transcription factors and chromatin remodeling factors related to low-temperature stress were ubiquitinated. This study provides new insights into the ubiquitination pathway of banana under cold stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gonadotropins are a class of heavily glycosylated protein hormones, thus extremely challenging to characterize by mass spectrometry. As biopharmaceuticals, gonadotropins are prescribed for the treatment of infertility and are derived from different sources: either from pooled urine of pregnant women or upon production in genetically modified Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is sold as a biopharmaceutical under the name Pregnyl® (urinary hCG, u-hCG) and Ovitrelle® (recombinant hCG, r-hCG), and recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) is marketed as Gonal-f®. Recently, we reported the exhaustive characterization of r-hCG at different structural levels. RESULTS We implement size exclusion (SE) HPLC-MS to automatize the acquisition of native mass spectra of r-hCG dimer, but also u-hCG and r-hFSH, comparing the drug products up to intact heterodimer level. A hybrid HPLC-MS approach was employed for the characterization of r-hCG, u-hCG and r-hFSH drug products at different structural levels. Released glycans were analyzed by porous graphitized carbon (PGC)-HPLC-MS/MS, glycopeptides by reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC-MS/MS, subunits by RP-HPLC-MS and finally the intact native heterodimers by semi-automated online buffer exchange SE-HPLC-MS. The data were integrated using bioinformatic tools, to finally unravel the composition of 1481 co-existing dimeric glycoforms for r-hCG, 1167 glycoforms for u-hCG, and 1440 glycoforms for r-hFSH, and to compare critical quality attributes of the different drug products such as their degree of sialylation and O-glycosylation. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY The strong alliance of bioanalytics and bioinformatics data integration at the different structural levels allowed the identification of more than thousand different glycoforms of r-hCG, u-hCG, and r-hFSH. The results showed that these biopharmaceuticals differ considerably in their glycosylation patterns and highlight the importance of in-depth characterization of biopharmaceuticals for quality control. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
Climate change has increased the overall impact of abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures on plants. Abiotic stress adversely affects the growth, development, crop yield, and productivity of plants. When plants are subjected to various environmental stress conditions, the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species and its detoxification through antioxidant mechanisms is disturbed. The extent of disturbance depends on the severity, intensity, and duration of abiotic stress. The equilibrium between the production and elimination of reactive oxygen species is maintained due to both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative defense mechanisms. Non-enzymatic antioxidants include both lipid-soluble (α-tocopherol and β-carotene) and water-soluble (glutathione, ascorbate, etc.) antioxidants. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione reductase (GR) are major enzymatic antioxidants that are essential for ROS homeostasis. In this review, we intend to discuss various antioxidative defense approaches used to improve abiotic stress tolerance in plants and the mechanism of action of the genes or enzymes involved.

Abstract
Brassica crops have great economic value due to their rich nutritional content and are therefore grown worldwide as oilseeds, vegetables, and condiments. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms associated with the advantageous phenotype is the major objective of various Brassica improvement programs. As large technological advancements have been achieved in the past decade, the methods to understand molecular mechanisms underlying the traits of interest have also taken a sharp upturn in plant breeding practices. Proteomics has emerged as one of the preferred choices nowadays along with genomics and other molecular approaches, as proteins are the ultimate effector molecules responsible for phenotypic changes in living systems, and allow plants to resist variable environmental stresses. In the last two decades, rapid progress has been made in the field of proteomics research in Brassica crops, but a comprehensive review that collates the different studies is lacking. This review provides an inclusive summary of different proteomic studies undertaken in Brassica crops for cytoplasmic male sterility, oil content, and proteomics of floral organs and seeds, under different biotic and abiotic stresses including post-translational modifications of proteins. This comprehensive review will help in understanding the role of different proteins in controlling plant phenotypes, and provides information for initiating future studies on Brassica breeding and improvement programs.

Abstract
The 2, 4-epibrassinolide (EBR) significantly increased plants cold tolerance. However, mechanisms of EBR in regulating cold tolerance in phosphoproteome and proteome levels have not been reported. The mechanism of EBR regulating cold response in cucumber was studied by multiple omics analysis. In this study, phosphoproteome analysis showed that cucumber responded to cold stress through multi-site serine phosphorylation, while EBR further upregulated single-site phosphorylation for most of cold-responsive phosphoproteins. Association analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome revealed that EBR reprogrammed proteins in response to cold stress by negatively regulating protein phosphorylation and protein content, and phosphorylation negatively regulated protein content in cucumber. Further functional enrichment analysis of proteome and phosphoproteome showed that cucumber mainly upregulated phosphoproteins related to spliceosome, nucleotide binding and photosynthetic pathways in response to cold stress. However, different from the EBR regulation in omics level, hypergeometric analysis showed that EBR further upregulated 16 cold-up-responsive phosphoproteins participated photosynthetic and nucleotide binding pathways in response to cold stress, suggested their important function in cold tolerance. Analysis of cold-responsive transcription factors (TFs) by correlation between proteome and phosphoproteome showed that cucumber regulated eight class TFs may through protein phosphorylation under cold stress. Further combined with cold-related transcriptome found that cucumber phosphorylated eight class TFs, and mainly through targeting major hormone signal genes by bZIP TFs in response to cold stress, while EBR further increased these bZIP TFs (CsABI5.2 and CsABI5.5) phosphorylation level. In conclusion, the EBR mediated schematic of molecule response mechanisms in cucumber under cold stress was proposed.

Abstract
Cold temperatures can be detrimental to crop survival and productivity. Breeding progress can be improved by understanding the molecular basis of low temperature tolerance. We investigated the key routes and critical metabolites related to low temperature resistance in cold-tolerant and -sensitive common bean cultivars 120 and 093, respectively. Many potential genes and metabolites implicated in major metabolic pathways during the chilling stress response were identified through transcriptomics and metabolomics research. Under chilling stress, the expression of many genes involved in lipid, amino acid, and flavonoid metabolism, as well as metabolite accumulation increased in the two bean types. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was lower in 120 than in 093. Regarding amino acid metabolism, 120 had a higher concentration of acidic amino acids than 093, whereas 093 had a higher concentration of basic amino acids. Methionine accumulation was clearly higher in 120 than in 093. In addition, 120 had a higher concentration of many types of flavonoids than 093. Flavonoids, methionine and malondialdehyde could be used as biomarkers of plant chilling injury. Transcriptome analysis of hormone metabolism revealed considerably greater, expression of abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin (GA), and jasmonic acid (JA) in 093 than in 120 during chilling stress, indicating that hormone regulation modes in 093 and 120 were different. Thus, chilling stress tolerance is different between 093 and 120 possibly due to transcriptional and metabolic regulation.

Integrative Omics Analysis of Three Oil Palm Varieties Reveals (Tanzania × Ekona) TE as a Cold-Resistant Variety in Response to Low-Temperature Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314926. [PMID: 36499255 PMCID: PMC9740226 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an economically important tropical oil crop widely cultivated in tropical zones worldwide. Being a tropical crop, low-temperature stress adversely affects the oil palm. However, integrative leaf transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have not yet been conducted on an oil palm crop under cold stress. In this study, integrative omics transcriptomic and iTRAQ-based proteomic approaches were employed for three oil palm varieties, i.e., B × E (Bamenda × Ekona), O × G (E. oleifera × Elaeis guineensis), and T × E (Tanzania × Ekona), in response to low-temperature stress. In response to low-temperature stress at (8 °C) for 5 days, a total of 5175 up- and 2941 downregulated DEGs in BE-0_VS_BE-5, and a total of 3468 up- and 2443 downregulated DEGs for OG-0_VS_OG-5, and 3667 up- and 2151 downregulated DEGs for TE-0_VS_TE-5 were identified. iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis showed 349 up- and 657 downregulated DEPs for BE-0_VS_BE-5, 372 up- and 264 downregulated DEPs for OG-0_VS_OG-5, and 500 up- and 321 downregulated DEPs for TE-0_VS_TE-5 compared to control samples treated at 28 °C and 8 °C, respectively. The KEGG pathway correlation of oil palm has shown that the metabolic synthesis and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites pathways were significantly enriched in the transcriptome and proteome of the oil palm varieties. The correlation expression pattern revealed that TE-0_VS_TE-5 is highly expressed and BE-0_VS_BE-5 is suppressed in both the transcriptome and proteome in response to low temperature. Furthermore, numerous transcription factors (TFs) were found that may regulate cold acclimation in three oil palm varieties at low temperatures. Moreover, this study identified proteins involved in stresses (abiotic, biotic, oxidative, and heat shock), photosynthesis, and respiration in iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis of three oil palm varieties. The increased abundance of stress-responsive proteins and decreased abundance of photosynthesis-related proteins suggest that the TE variety may become cold-resistant in response to low-temperature stress. This study may provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanism for the adaptation of oil palm varieties in response to low-temperature stress in China.

Effect of Wheat Crop Nitrogen Fertilization Schedule on the Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Sprouts and Wheatgrass Obtained from Offspring Grains. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11152042. [PMID: 35956521 PMCID: PMC9370410 DOI: 10.3390/plants11152042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This work was aimed at investigating the effects of rate and timing of nitrogen fertilization applied to a maternal wheat crop on phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of edible sprouts and wheatgrass obtained from offspring grains. We hypothesized that imbalance in N nutrition experienced by the mother plants translates into transgenerational responses on seedlings obtained from the offspring seeds. To this purpose, we sprouted grains of two bread wheat cultivars (Bologna and Bora) grown in the field under four N fertilization schedules: constantly well N fed with a total of 300 kg N ha−1; N fed only very early, i.e., one month after sowing, with 60 kg N ha−1; N fed only late, i.e., at initial shoot elongation, with 120 kg N ha−1; and unfertilized control. We measured percent germination, seedling growth, vegetation indices (by reflectance spectroscopy), the phytochemical content (total phenols, phenolic acids, carotenoids, chlorophylls), and the antioxidant activity (by gold nanoparticles photometric assay) of extracts in sprout and wheatgrass obtained from the harvested seeds. Our main finding is that grains obtained from crops subjected to late N deficiency produced wheatgrass with much higher phenolic content (as compared to the other N treatments), and this was observed in both cultivars. Thus, we conclude that late N deficiency is a stressing condition which elicits the production of phenols. This may help counterbalance the loss of income related to lower grain yield in crops subjected to such an imbalance in N nutrition.

Integrative Proteome and Phosphoproteome Profiling of Early Cold Response in Maize Seedlings. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126493. [PMID: 35742945 PMCID: PMC9224472 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Cold limits the growth and yield of maize in temperate regions, but the molecular mechanism of cold adaptation remains largely unexplored in maize. To identify early molecular events during cold shock, maize seedlings were treated under 4 °C for 30 min and 2 h, and analyzed at both the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Over 8500 proteins and 19,300 phosphopeptides were quantified. About 660 and 620 proteins were cold responsive at protein abundance or site-specific phosphorylation levels, but only 65 proteins were shared between them. Functional enrichment analysis of cold-responsive proteins and phosphoproteins revealed that early cold response in maize is associated with photosynthesis light reaction, spliceosome, endocytosis, and defense response, consistent with similar studies in Arabidopsis. Thirty-two photosynthesis proteins were down-regulated at protein levels, and 48 spliceosome proteins were altered at site-specific phosphorylation levels. Thirty-one kinases and 33 transcriptional factors were cold responsive at protein, phosphopeptide, or site-specific phosphorylation levels. Our results showed that maize seedlings respond to cold shock rapidly, at both the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. This study provides a comprehensive landscape at the cold-responsive proteome and phosphoproteome in maize seedlings that can be a significant resource to understand how C4 plants respond to a sudden temperature drop.

Abstract
Maize yield is significantly influenced by low temperature, particularly chilling stress at the maize seedling stage. Various physiological approaches have been established to resist chilling stress; however, the detailed proteins change patterns underlying the maize chilling stress response at the seedling stage remain unknown, preventing the development of breeding-based methods to resist chilling stress in maize. Thus, we performed comprehensive physiological, comparative proteomics and specific phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) assay on different maize inbred lines (tolerant-line KR701 and sensitive-line hei8834) at different seedling stages (the first leaf stage and third leaf stage) under chilling stress. The results revealed several signalling proteins and pathways in response to chilling stress at the maize seedling stage. Meanwhile, we found ABA pathway was important for chilling resistance of tolerant-line KR701 at the first leaf stage. Related chilling-responsive proteins were further catalogued and analysed, providing a resource for further investigation and maize breeding.

Abstract
As a primary goal, adaptation to cold climate could expand an invasion range of exotic plants. Here, we aimed to explore the regulation strategy of M. micrantha seed development under cold stress through molecular physiology and multi-omics analysis. Significant increase of hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde, and electrolyte leakage observed under cold stress revealed that oxidative damage within M. micrantha seed cells was induced in the initial germination phase. Proteomic data underscored an activation of antioxidant activity to maintain redox homeostasis, with a cluster of antioxidant proteins identified. Genomic-wide transcriptome, in combination with time-series whole-genome bisulfite sequencing mining, elucidated that seven candidate genes, which were the target of DNA demethylation-dependent ROS scavenging, were possibly associated with an M. micrantha germ break. Progressive gain of CHH context DNA methylation identified in an early germination phrase suggested a role of a DNA methylation pathway, while an active DNA demethylation pathway was also initiated during late seed development, which was in line with the expression trend of methylation and demethylation-related genes verified through qRT-PCR. These data pointed out that cold-dependent DNA demethylation and an antioxidant regulatory were involved together in restoring seed germination. The expression level of total 441 genes presented an opposite trend to the methylation divergence, while the expression of total 395 genes was proved to be negatively associated with their methylation levels. These data provided new insights into molecular reprograming events during M. micrantha seed development.

Differential response of physiology and metabolic response to drought stress in different sweetpotato cultivars. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0264847.

Abstract
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is a widely cultivated food crop with generally good adaptability. However, drought stress can cause a significant decline in yield. To reveal the response mechanism of sweetpotato to drought stress, an integrated physiological, proteomic and metabolomic investigation was conducted in leaves of two sweetpotato varieties with differing responses to drought stress, drought-resistant Wanzishu56 (WZ56) and a more sensitive variety, Ningzishu2(NZ2). Physiological analysis showed that the variety with better drought tolerance had superior performance in water retention capacity and photosynthetic efficiency under drought stress. A total of 1140 proteins were identified within the two varieties. Among them, 192 differentially expressed proteins were detected under drought conditions, including 97 that were up-regulated. Functional analysis showed that these up-regulated proteins were primarily involved in photosynthesis, reactive oxygen species metabolism, organonitrogen compound metabolism, and precursor metabolite catabolism and energy generation. All differentially expressed proteins in WZ56 that were involved in photosynthetic and glutathione metabolic processes were up-regulated. Enzyme activity assays were carried out to validate the proteomics data. Moreover, 75 metabolites were found to have a higher expression level in WZ56 than NZ2 under drought stress. The higher concentration of carbohydrates, amino acids, flavonoids and organic acids found in drought-stressed leaves of WZ56 suggested that these metabolites may improve the drought resistance of sweetpotato. This study uncovered specific-proteins and metabolites associated with drought resistance, providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in sweetpotato.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Maize, a C4 sub-tropical crop, possesses higher temperature optima as compared to the C3 plants. Low temperature (LT) stress confines the growth and productivity of maize. In this context, two maize genotypes, LT tolerant Gurez local and LT susceptible Gujarat-Maize-6 (G-M-6) were analysed in present study for various osmolytes and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes including Ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) besides trehalose biosynthetic pathways. With the progressive LT treatment, Gurez local showed lesser accumulation of stress markers like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde, a significant increase in osmoprotectants like free proline, total protein, total soluble sugars, trehalose, total phenolics and glycine betaine, and a significant reduction in the plant pigments as compared to the G-M-6. Additionally, Gurez local was found to possess a well-established antioxidant defense system as revealed from the elevated transcripts and enzyme activities of various enzymes of AsA-GSH pathway. Higher gene expression and enzyme activities were exhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase besides the gene expression of trehalose biosynthetic pathway enzymes. Moreover, through principal component analyses, a positive correlation of all analysed parameters with the LT tolerance was noticed in Gurez local alone demarcating the genotypes on the basis of their extent of LT tolerance. Overall, the present study forms the basis for unravelling of LT tolerance mechanisms and improvement in the performance of the temperate maize.

Abstract
In Northern Europe, sowing maize one-month earlier than current agricultural practices may lead to moderate chilling damage. However, studies of the metabolic responses to low, non-freezing, temperatures remain scarce. Here, genetically-diverse maize hybrids (Zea mays, dent inbred lines crossed with a flint inbred line) were cultivated in a growth chamber at optimal temperature and then three decreasing temperatures for 2 days each, as well as in the field. Leaf metabolomic and proteomic profiles were determined. In the growth chamber, 50% of metabolites and 18% of proteins changed between 20 and 16°C. These maize responses, partly differing from those of Arabidopsis to short-term chilling, were mapped on genome-wide metabolic maps. Several metabolites and proteins showed similar variation for all temperature decreases: seven MS-based metabolite signatures and two proteins involved in photosynthesis decreased continuously. Several increasing metabolites or proteins in the growth-chamber chilling conditions showed similar trends in the early-sowing field experiment, including trans-aconitate, three hydroxycinnamate derivatives, a benzoxazinoid, a sucrose synthase, lethal leaf-spot 1 protein, an allene oxide synthase, several glutathione transferases and peroxidases. Hybrid groups based on field biomass were used to search for the metabolite or protein responses differentiating them in growth-chamber conditions, which could be of interest for breeding.

Abstract
In this study, we performed an integrated physiological and chloroplast proteome analysis of wheat seedling leaves under salt and osmotic stresses by label-free based quantitative proteomic approach. Both salt and osmotic stresses significantly increased the levels of abscisic acid and methyl jasmonate and led to damages of chloroplast ultrastructure. Main parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange showed a significant decline under both stresses. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 194 and 169 chloroplast-localized differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) responsive to salt and osmotic stresses, respectively. The abundance of main DAPs involved in light-dependent reaction were increased under salt stress, but decreased in response to osmotic stress. On the contrary, salt stress induced a significant upregulation of the DAPs associated with Calvin cycle, transcription and translation, amino acid metabolism, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and some of them exhibited a downregulation under osmotic stress. In particular, both treatments significantly upregulated the DAPs involved in plastoglobule development, protein folding and proteolysis, hormone and vitamin synthesis. Finally, we proposed a putative synergistic responsive network of wheat chloroplast proteome under salt and osmotic stresses, aiming to provide new insights into the underlying response and defense mechanisms of wheat chloroplast proteome in response to abiotic stresses. SIGNIFICANCE: Salt and osmotic stresses are the two most common abiotic stresses that severely affect crop growth and productivity. As the main site of photosynthesis of plant cells, the chloroplast also plays important role in plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the response of chloroplast proteome to salt and osmotic is still poorly understood by using the traditional two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) method due to a poor resolution of chloroplast protein separation and low throughput identification of differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs). In this study, we employed label-free based quantitative proteomic approach to perform an integrated physiological and large-scale chloroplast proteome analysis of wheat seedling leaves under salt and osmotic stresses, which laid a solid foundation for future studies into the response and defense mechanisms of wheat chloroplast in response to abiotic stresses.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 207:111384. [PMID: 33011457 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Light intensity is one of the ecological factors that appreciably affects the metabolism of Scylla paramamosain during overwintering. This study adopted the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method to investigate metabolic changes of S. paramamosain under three illumination levels (0, 1.43 and 40.31 μmol m-2·s-1) for four months during indoor overwintering. The iTRAQ identified 3282 proteins, among which 267 exhibited significant differential expression (122 upregulated and 145 downregulated) in the low light group, and 299 with significant differential expression (252 upregulated and 47 downregulated) in the high light group. Analysis of these results showed that there were different metabolic regulatory patterns under different light intensities. Low light is more conducive to the survival of S. paramamosain, which needs to produce and consume relatively less energy to sustain physiological activities. Thus, the essential proteins associated with physiological activities were significantly upregulated, while those related to energy production were significantly downregulated. In contrast, high light exerts a certain stress on the survival of S. paramamosain and required more energy to cope with this stress, which forced a significant upregulation of proteins related to stress response and energy production. The findings of this study highlighted the metabolic regulatory mechanisms of S. paramamosain under different light intensities.

Abstract
Soybean is an important oilseed crop and primary dietary protein resource. The limited understanding of soybean oil biosynthesis has become a significant obstacle for the improvement of soybean oil production. A transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3) is known for its role in plant development and seed dormancy in many crops. The current study was aimed to functionally characterise ABI3 homologue in Glycine max L. For this purpose, the GmABI3 gene was cloned and ectopically expressed in wildtype and abi3 mutant Arabidopsis. The GmABI3 expression in the atabi3 mutant enhanced the triacylglycerol (TAG) content (7.3%) in addition to modified fatty acid composition. The GmABI3 increased eicosenoic acid (20:1) up to 6.5% in genetically complemented Arabidopsis mutant seeds, which is essential for long-chain fatty acid synthesis. The transgenic GmABI3/wildtype seeds contain 34.9% more TAG content compared with wildtype seeds. The results showed that GmABI3 is responsible for seed-specific TAG and long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis in soybean. The exposure to cold and heat stress and exogenous supply of abscisic acid and jasmonic acid altered the level of GmABI3 in treated seeds and leaves. It also concluded that GmABI3 could regulate stress tolerance in soybean, which applies to a wide variety of crops to deal with biological stresses.

Abstract
Hyperthermophiles, living in environments above 80°C and usually coupling with multi-extreme environmental stresses, have drawn great attention due to their application potential in biotechnology and being the primitive extant forms of life. Studies on their survival and adaptation mechanisms have extended our understanding on how lives thrive under extreme conditions. During these studies, the "cross-stress" behavior in various organisms has been observed between the extreme high temperature and other environmental stresses. Despite the broad observation, the global view of the cross-stress behavior remains unclear in hyperthermophiles, leaving a knowledge gap in our understanding of extreme adaptation. In this study, we performed a global quantitative proteomic analysis under extreme temperatures, pH, hydrostatic pressure (HP), and salinity on an archaeal strain, Thermococcus eurythermalis A501, which has outstanding growth capability on a wide range of temperatures (50-100°C), pH (4-9), and HPs (0.1-70 MPa), but a narrow range of NaCl (1.0-5.0 %, w/v). The proteomic analysis (79.8% genome coverage) demonstrated that approximately 61.5% of the significant differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) responded to multiple stresses. The responses to most of the tested stresses were closely correlated, except the responses to high salinity and low temperature. The top three enriched universal responding processes include the biosynthesis and protection of macromolecules, biosynthesis and metabolism of amino acids, ion transport, and binding activities. In addition, this study also revealed that the specific dual-stress responding processes, such as the membrane lipids for both cold and HP stresses and the signal transduction for both hyperosmotic and heat stresses, as well as the sodium-dependent energetic processes might be the limiting factor of the growth range in salinity. The present study is the first to examine the global cross-stress responses in a piezophilic hyperthermophile at the proteomic level. Our findings provide direct evidences of the cross-stress adaptation strategy (33.5% of coding-genes) to multiple stresses and highlight the specific and unique responding processes (0.22-0.63% of coding genes for each) to extreme temperature, pH, salinity, and pressure, which are highly relevant to the fields of evolutionary biology as well as next generation industrial biotechnology (NGIB).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) of wheat seeds produced under two nitrogen levels (0 and 240 kg/ha) before and after germination. We selected samples at 8 and 72 h after imbibition (HAI) to identify DAPs by iTRAQ. The results showed 190 and 124 DAPs at 8 and 72 HAI, respectively. Alpha-gliadin and chlorophyll a-b binding protein showed the biggest difference in abundance before and after germination. In GO enrichment analysis, the most significantly enriched GO term was nutrient reservoir activity at 8 HAI and endopeptidase inhibitor activity at 72 HAI. Moreover, many DAPs involved in mobilization of stored nutrients and photosynthesis were mapped to KEGG pathways. Dough development time, dough stability time and seedling chlorophyll content under N240 were significantly higher than those under N0, which validated the results of proteomic analysis. These results are crucial for food nutrition and food processing.

Abstract
Random mutagenesis was applied to produce a new wheat mutant (RYNO3926) with superior characteristics regarding tolerance to water deficit stress induced at late booting stage. The mutant also displays rapid recovery from water stress conditions. Under water stress conditions mutant plants reached maturity faster and produced more seeds than its wild type wheat progenitor. Wild-type Tugela DN plants died within 7 days after induction of water stress induced at late booting stage, while mutant plants survived by maintaining a higher relative moisture content (RMC), increased total chlorophyll, and a higher photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance. Analysis of the proteome of mutant plants revealed that they better regulate post-translational modification (SUMOylation) and have increased expression of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) proteins. Mutant plants also expressed unique proteins associated with dehydration tolerance including abscisic stress-ripening protein, cold induced protein, cold-responsive protein, dehydrin, Group 3 late embryogenesis, and a lipoprotein (LAlv9) belonging to the family of lipocalins. Overall, our results suggest that our new mutant RYNO3936 has a potential for inclusion in future breeding programs to improve drought tolerance under dryland conditions.

Abstract
Protein malfunction is typically caused by abiotic stressors. To ensure cell survival during conditions of stress, it is important for plant cells to maintain proteins in their respective functional conformation. Self-compartmentalizing proteases, such as ATP-dependent Clp proteases and proteasomes are designed to act in the crowded cellular environment, and they are responsible for degradation of misfolded or damaged proteins within the cell. During different types of stress conditions, the levels of misfolded or orphaned proteins that are degraded by the 26S proteasome in the cytosol and nucleus and by the Clp proteases in the mitochondria and chloroplasts increase. This allows cells to uphold feedback regulations to cellular-level signals and adjust to altered environmental conditions. In this review, we summarize recent findings on plant proteolytic complexes with respect to their protective functions against abiotic and biotic stressors.

Abstract
The maize C system of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and its fertility restoration gene Rf4 have been widely used for maize hybrid production; however, the underlying mechanism is still uncertain. The sterility factor functions in mitochondria, where it interacts directly or indirectly with the restorer. Mitoproteomics can capture all participants involved in CMS and restoration at the organelle level. In the present study, we identified and quantified anther mitochondrial proteins from CMS, maintainer and restorer lines. We obtained 14,528 unique peptides belonging to 3,369 proteins. Comparative analysis of 1840 high-confidence proteins revealed 68 were differentially accumulated proteins likely involved in CMS or its restoration within mitochondria. These proteins were mainly associated with fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and protein-processing pathways. These results suggest that an energy deficiency caused by the sterility factor hinders other proteins or protein complexes required for pollen development through nuclear-mitochondrial interaction. The restorer factor may boost the energy generation by activating alternative metabolic pathways and by improving the post-translation processing efficiency of proteins in energy-producing complexes to restore pollen fertility. Our findings may aid detailed molecular analysis and contribute to a better understanding of maize CMS-C restoration and sterility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shade stress, a universal abiotic stress, suppresses plant growth and production seriously. However, little is known regarding the protein regulatory networks under shade stress. To better characterize the proteomic changes of maize leaves under shade stress, 60% shade (S) and supplementary lighting (L) on cloudy daylight from tasseling stage to physiological maturity stage were designed, the ambient sunlight treatment was used as control (CK). Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technology was used to determine the proteome profiles in leaves. RESULTS Shading significantly decreased the SPAD value, net photosynthetic rate, and grain yield. During two experimental years, grain yields of S were reduced by 48 and 47%, and L increased by 6 and 11%, compared to CK. In total, 3958 proteins were identified by iTRAQ, and 2745 proteins were quantified including 349 proteins showed at least 1.2-fold changes in expression levels between treatments and CK. The differentially expressed proteins were classified into photosynthesis, stress defense, energy production, signal transduction, and protein and amino acid metabolism using the Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot online tool. In addition, these proteins showed significant enrichment of the chloroplasts (58%) and cytosol (21%) for subcellular localization. CONCLUSIONS 60% shade induced the expression of proteins involved in photosynthetic electron transport chain (especially light-harvesting complex) and stress/defense/detoxification. However, the proteins related to calvin cycle, starch and sucrose metabolisms, glycolysis, TCA cycle, and ribosome and protein synthesis were dramatically depressed. Together, our results might help to provide a valuable resource for protein function analysis and also clarify the proteomic and physiological mechanism of maize underlying shade stress.

Abstract
To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underpinning tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) tolerance to drought stress, we integrated anatomical, physiological, and proteomic analyses of drought-tolerant (Yuyan6, [Y6]) and -sensitive (Yunyan87 [Y87]) varieties. In comparison to Y87, Y6 exhibited higher water retention capability, improved photosynthetic performance, delayed leaf-senescence, stable leaf ultrastructure, a stronger antioxidant defense, and lesser ROS accumulation when subjected to water stress. Using an iTRAQ-based proteomics approach, 405 and 1,560 differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) were identified from Y6 and Y87 plants, respectively, of which 114 were found to be present in both cultivars. A subsequent functional characterization analysis revealed that these DAPs were significantly enriched in eight biological processes, six molecular functions, and six cellular components and displayed differential expression patterns in Y6 and Y87 plants, suggesting that the response to water stress between both varieties differed at the proteomic level. Furthermore, we constructed protein coexpression networks and identified hub proteins regulating tobacco defenses to water stress. Additionally, qPCR analysis indicated that the majority of genes encoding selected proteins showed consistency between mRNA levels and their corresponding protein expression levels. Our results provide new insights into the genetic regulatory mechanisms associated with drought response in tobacco plants.

Abstract
Drought stress, especially during the seedling stage, seriously limits the growth of maize and reduces production in the northeast of China. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of drought response in maize seedlings, proteome changes were analyzed. Using an isotopic tagging relative quantitation (iTRAQ) based method, a total of 207 differentially accumulated protein species (DAPS) were identified under drought stress in maize seedlings. The DAPS were classified into ten essential groups and analyzed thoroughly, which involved in signaling, osmotic regulation, protein synthesis and turnover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, membrane trafficking, transcription related, cell structure and cell cycle, fatty acid metabolism, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, as well as photosynthesis and photorespiration. The enhancements of ROS scavenging, osmotic regulation, protein turnover, membrane trafficking, and photosynthesis may play important roles in improving drought tolerance of maize seedlings. Besides, the inhibitions of some protein synthesis and slowdown of cell division could reduce the growth rate and avoid excessive water loss, which is possible to be the main reasons for enhancing drought avoidance of maize seedlings. The incongruence between protein and transcript levels was expectedly observed in the process of confirming iTRAQ data by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, which further indicated that the multiplex post-transcriptional regulation and post-translational modification occurred in drought-stressed maize seedlings. Finally, a hypothetical strategy was proposed that maize seedlings coped with drought stress by improving drought tolerance (via. promoting osmotic adjustment and antioxidant capacity) and enhancing drought avoidance (via. reducing water loss). Our study provides valuable insight to mechanisms underlying drought response in maize seedlings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Snap bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., as a warm-season vegetable, low temperature stress seriously affect the yield and quality. At present, little is known about the genes and molecular regulation mechanism in cold response in snap bean exposed to low temperature. OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to identify the low temperature response genes in snap bean and to examine differences in the gene response between cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive genotypes. METHODS We used two highly inbred snap bean lines in this study, the cold-tolerant line '120', and the cold-sensitive line '093'. The plants were grown to the three leaf and one heart stage and exposed to 4 °C low temperature. We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to analyze the differences of gene expression. RESULTS 988 and 874 cold-responsive genes were identified in 'T120 vs CK120' and 'T093 vs CK093' ('T' stands for low temperature treatment, and 'CK' stands for control at room temperature), respectively. Of these, 555 and 442 genes were unique to cold-stressed lines '120' and '093', respectively compared to the control. Our analysis of these differentially expressed genes indicates that Ca2+, ROS, and hormones act as signaling molecules that play important roles in low temperature response in P. vulgaris. Altering the expression of genes in these signaling pathways activates expression of downstream response genes which can interact with other signaling regulatory networks. This may maintained the balance of ROS and hormones, making line '120' more cold-tolerant than line '093'. CONCLUSION Our results provide a preliminarily understanding of the molecular basis of low temperature response in snap bean, and also establish a foundation for the future genetic improvement of cold sensitivity in snap bean by incorporating genes for cold tolerance.

Maternal obesity is associated with impaired maternal metabolism and affects the developmental programming of the fetus. The placenta is dysfunctional when exposed to an obese intrauterine environment and can transduce and mediate detrimental maternal impacts to the fetus through mechanisms that remain largely unknown. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal obesity on the porcine placental proteome and to analyze the deregulated proteins and potential pathways predicted to be disturbed in obese placentas, using sows with high backfat as a model of obese pregnancy. The sows were divided into two groups based on their backfat thickness: normal backfat (NBF, 17-22 mm; n = 30) and high backfat (HBF, ≥23 mm; n = 30) as the maternal obesity group. The placental tissues used for the proteomic and biochemical analyses were obtained through vaginal delivery, and the maternal blood samples used to determine the metabolic parameters were collected at day 107 of pregnancy. Our study demonstrated that HBF sows had significantly decreased placental efficiency, increased plasma-free fatty acids and triglyceride levels, and increased proinflammatory cytokines plasma levels (p < 0.05). HBF placentas had significantly higher malondialdehyde level, lower total antioxidant capacity and antioxidase activity, increased triglyceride content and enhanced proinflammatory tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents (p < 0.05). Among the 4652 proteins identified using the proteomic method, 343 were quantified as differentially abundant proteins, which were involved in many vital biological processes. Based on our bioinformatic and placental biochemical analyses, we concluded that maternal obesity is associated with abnormal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased steroid hormone biosynthesis, and increased oxidative stress and inflammation in the placenta. The results of this study are undoubtedly valuable to other researchers.

Comparative Proteomics of Phytase-transgenic Maize Seeds Indicates Environmental Influence is More Important than that of Gene Insertion. Sci Rep 2019; 9:8219. [PMID: 31160654 PMCID: PMC6547748 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-44748-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Proteomic differences were compared between phytase-transgenic (PT) maize seeds and nontransgenic (NT) maize seeds through two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) with mass spectrometry (MS). When maize was grown under field conditions, 30 differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) were successfully identified in PT seeds (PT/NT). Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) functional classification of these proteins showed that the largest group was associated with posttranslational modifications. To investigate the effects of environmental factors, we further compared the seed protein profiles of the same maize planted in a greenhouse or under field conditions. There were 76 DAPs between the greenhouse- and field-grown NT maize seeds and 77 DAPs between the greenhouse- and field-grown PT maize seeds However, under the same planting conditions, there were only 43 DAPs (planted in the greenhouse) or 37 DAPs (planted in the field) between PT and NT maize seeds. The results revealed that DAPs caused by environmental factors were more common than those caused by the insertion of exogenous genes, indicating that the environment has much more important effects on the seed protein profiles. Our maize seed proteomics results also indicated that the occurrence of unintended effects is not specific to genetically modified crops (GMCs); instead, such effects often occur in traditionally bred plants. Our data may be beneficial for biosafety assessments of GMCs at the protein profile level in the future.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to the broodiness of the Muscovy duck, but the molecular mechanism of broodiness remains largely unknown. In this study, the ovary tissues of Muscovy ducks during the broody and laying periods were used to investigate differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) by the iTRAQ-based proteomics approach. A total of 335 DEPs were identified, including 139 up-regulated and 196 down-regulated proteins. Six proteins (APOV1, GAL, SAA, GNB5, VLDLR and CDK1) with higher changes in expression were selected, and these proteins are mainly involved in the pathways related to reproductive performance, such as Oocyte meiosis, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Steroid biosynthesis was the most significantly enriched pathway by KEGG pathway enriched analysis. The qRT-PCR analysis was applied to verify the proteomic analysis. Meanwhile, metabolomics analysis found that several important differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) (7-dehydrodesmosterol, 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3, 7-Dehydrocholesterol, Pregnanolone, Allopregnanolone and estrogen) that were also mainly involved in Steroid biosynthesis, Steroid hormone biosynthesis and Metabolic pathways. Crucially, the changes in the abundance of these metabolites are closely related to the changes in the protein abundance of proteins identified in the same pathway, and it is always the upstream key enzymes that influence the production of downstream metabolites.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an extremely halotolerant pathogenic bacterium with high osmotic stress tolerance, and it is frequently encountered in aquatic production and preservation. However, the mechanism underlying the extremely high osmotic stress tolerance of S. aureus remains unclear. In this study, the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) method was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) under different sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations. Compared with the control group (0% NaCl), the 10 and 20% NaCl groups had 484 DEPs and 750 DEPs, respectively. Compared with the 10% NaCl group, the 20% NaCl group had 361 DEPs. Among the DEPs, proteins involved in fatty acid synthesis, proline/glycine betaine biosynthesis and transportation, stress tolerance, cell wall biosynthesis and the TCA cycle were upregulated, whereas proteins associated with biofilm formation and pathogenic infections were downregulated. The results obtained in this study indicate that under extremely high osmotic stress, modification of the cell membrane structure, increased biosynthesis and transportation of osmotic protectants, and redistribution of energy metabolism contribute to the osmotic stress tolerance of S. aureus, and the infectious ability of the bacteria may be limited. The aim of this study was to provide new insight into how S. aureus tolerates the high-salt conditions involved in aquatic production and preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An eukaryotic translation elongation factor-2 (eEF-2) plays an important role in protein synthesis, however, investigation on its role in abiotic stress responses is limited. A cold responsive eEF2 named as MfEF2 was isolated from yellow-flowered alfalfa [Medicago sativa subsp. falcata (L.) Arcang, thereafter M. falcata], a forage legume with great cold tolerance, and transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants overexpressing MfEF2 were analyzed in cold tolerance and proteomic profiling was conducted under low temperature in this study. RESULTS MfEF2 transcript was induced and peaked at 24 h and remained at the high level during cold treatment up to 96 h. Overexpression of MfEF2 in trasngenic tobacco plants resulted in enhanced cold tolerance. Compared to the wild type, transgenic plants showed higher survival rate after freezing treatment, higher levels of net photosynthetic rate (A), maximum photochemical efciency of photosystem (PS) II (Fv/Fm) and nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) and lower levels of ion leakage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production after chilling treatment. iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis identified 336 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) from leaves of one transgenic line versus the wild type after chilling treatment for 48 h. GO and KEGG enrichment were conducted for analysis of the major biological process, cellular component, molecular function, and pathways of the DEPs involving in. It is interesting that many down-regulated DEPs were grouped into "photosynthesis" and "photosynthesis-antenna", such as subunits of PSI and PSII as well as light harvesting chlorophyll protein complex (LHC), while many up-regulated DEPs were grouped into "spliceosome". CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that MfEF2 confers cold tolerance through regulating hundreds of proteins synthesis under low temperature conditions. The elevated cold tolerance in MfEF2 transgenic plants was associated with downregulation of the subunits of PSI and PSII as well as LHC, which leads to reduced capacity for capturing sunlight and ROS production for protection of plants, and upregulation of proteins involving in splicesome, which promotes alternative splicing of pre-mRNA under low temperature.

Abstract
Salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits maize yield and quality throughout the world. We investigated phosphoproteomics differences between a salt-tolerant inbred line (Zheng58) and a salt-sensitive inbred line (Chang7-2) in response to short-term salt stress using label-free quantitation. A total of 9448 unique phosphorylation sites from 4116 phosphoproteins in roots and shoots of Zheng58 and Chang7-2 were identified. A total of 209 and 243 differentially regulated phosphoproteins (DRPPs) in response to NaCl treatment were detected in roots and shoots, respectively. Functional analysis of these DRPPs showed that they were involved in carbon metabolism, glutathione metabolism, transport, and signal transduction. Among these phosphoproteins, the expression of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase 2, pyruvate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, glutamate decarboxylase, glutamate synthase, l-gulonolactone oxidase-like, potassium channel AKT1, high-affinity potassium transporter, sodium/hydrogen exchanger, and calcium/proton exchanger CAX1-like protein were significantly regulated in roots, while phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase 1, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, sodium/hydrogen exchanger, plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2, glutathione transferases, and abscisic acid-insensitive 5-like protein were significantly regulated in shoots. Zheng58 may activate carbon metabolism, glutathione and ascorbic acid metabolism, potassium and sodium transportation, and the accumulation of glutamate to enhance its salt tolerance. Our results help to elucidate the mechanisms of salt response in maize seedlings. They also provide a basis for further study of the mechanism underlying salt response and tolerance in maize and other crops.

Abstract
Early planting is one of the strategies used to increase grain yield in temperate regions. However, poor cold tolerance in castor inhibits seed germination, resulting in lower seedling emergence and biomass. Here, the elite castor variety Tongbi 5 was used to identify the differential abundance protein species (DAPS) between cold stress (4 °C) and control conditions (30 °C) imbibed seeds. As a result, 127 DAPS were identified according to isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) strategy. These DAPS were mainly involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, translation and posttranslational modification, stress response, lipid transport and metabolism, and signal transduction. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) demonstrated that the quantitative proteomics data collected here were reliable. This study provided some invaluable insights into the cold stress responses of early imbibed castor seeds: (1) up-accumulation of all DAPS involved in translation might confer cold tolerance by promoting protein synthesis; (2) stress-related proteins probably protect the cell against damage caused by cold stress; (3) up-accumulation of key DAPS associated with fatty acid biosynthesis might facilitate resistance or adaptation of imbibed castor seeds to cold stress by the increased content of unsaturated fatty acid (UFA). The data has been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD010043.

Abstract
The freezing tolerance of roots is crucial for winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) survival in the winter in Northwest China. Cold acclimation (CA) can alleviate the root damage caused by freezing stress. To acknowledge the molecular mechanisms of freezing tolerance in winter turnip rape, two Brassica rapa genotypes, freezing stressed after the induction of cold acclimation, were used to compare the proteomic profiles of roots by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). Under freezing stress (-4 °C) for 8 h, 139 and 96 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified in the roots of "Longyou7" (freezing-tolerant) and "Tianyou4" (freezing-sensitive), respectively. Among these DAPs, 91 and 48 proteins were up- and down-accumulated in "Longyou7", respectively, and 46 and 50 proteins were up- and down-accumulated in "Tianyou4", respectively. Under freezing stress, 174 DAPs of two varieties were identified, including 9 proteins related to ribosome, 19 DAPs related to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (e.g., phenylpropanoid and the lignin pathway), and 22 down-accumulated DAPs enriched in oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fructose and mannose metabolism, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. The expressional pattern of the genes encoding the 15 significant DAPs were consistent with the iTRAQ data. This work indicates that protein biosynthesis, lignin synthesis, the reduction of energy consumption and a higher linolenic acid content contribute to the freezing tolerance of winter turnip rape. Functional analyses of these DAPs would be helpful in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses in B. rapa.

Abstract
Winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) is a large-scale winter-only oil crop cultivated in Northwest China. However, its cold-resistant molecular mechanism remains inadequate. Studying the cold adaptation mechanisms of winter turnip rape based on the proteomic technique of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) offers a solution to this problem. Under cold stress (−4 °C for eight hours), 51 and 94 differently accumulated proteins (DAPs) in Longyou 7 (cold-tolerant) and Tianyou 4 (cold-sensitive) were identified, respectively. These DAPs were classified into 38 gene ontology (GO) term categories, such as metabolic process, cellular process, catalytic activity, and binding. The 142 DAPs identified between the two cold-stressed cultivars were classified into 40 GO terms, including cellular process, metabolic process, cell, catalytic activity, and binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis indicated that the DAPs participated in 10 pathways. The abundance of most protein functions in ribosomes, carbon metabolism, photosynthesis, and energy metabolism including the citrate cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism decreased, and the proteins that participate in photosynthesis–antenna and isoflavonoid biosynthesis increased in cold-stressed Longyou 7 compared with those in cold-stressed Tianyou 4. The expression pattern of genes encoding the 10 significant DAPs was consistent with the iTRAQ data. This study provides new information on the proteomic differences between the leaves of Longyou 7 and Tianyou 4 plants and explains the possible molecular mechanisms of cold-stress adaptation in B. rapa.

Abstract
Drought stress is the major abiotic factor threatening maize (Zea mays L.) yield globally. Therefore, revealing the molecular mechanisms fundamental to drought tolerance in maize becomes imperative. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of two maize inbred lines contrasting in drought stress tolerance based on their physiological and proteomic responses at the seedling stage. Our observations showed that divergent stress tolerance mechanisms exist between the two inbred-lines at physiological and proteomic levels, with YE8112 being comparatively more tolerant than MO17 owing to its maintenance of higher relative leaf water and proline contents, greater increase in peroxidase (POD) activity, along with decreased level of lipid peroxidation under stressed conditions. Using an iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification)-based method, we identified a total of 721 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs). Amongst these, we fished out five essential sets of drought responsive DAPs, including 13 DAPs specific to YE8112, 107 specific DAPs shared between drought-sensitive and drought-tolerant lines after drought treatment (SD_TD), three DAPs of YE8112 also regulated in SD_TD, 84 DAPs unique to MO17, and five overlapping DAPs between the two inbred lines. The most significantly enriched DAPs in YE8112 were associated with the photosynthesis antenna proteins pathway, whilst those in MO17 were related to C5-branched dibasic acid metabolism and RNA transport pathways. The changes in protein abundance were consistent with the observed physiological characterizations of the two inbred lines. Further, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis results confirmed the iTRAQ sequencing data. The higher drought tolerance of YE8112 was attributed to: activation of photosynthesis proteins involved in balancing light capture and utilization; enhanced lipid-metabolism; development of abiotic and biotic cross-tolerance mechanisms; increased cellular detoxification capacity; activation of chaperones that stabilize other proteins against drought-induced denaturation; and reduced synthesis of redundant proteins to help save energy to battle drought stress. These findings provide further insights into the molecular signatures underpinning maize drought stress tolerance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Northern Europe, maize early-sowing used to maximize yield may lead to moderate damages of seedlings due to chilling without visual phenotypes. Genetic studies and breeding for chilling tolerance remain necessary, and metabolic markers would be particularly useful in this context. OBJECTIVES Using an untargeted metabolomic approach on a collection of maize hybrids, our aim was to identify metabolite signatures and/or metabolites associated with chilling responses at the vegetative stage, to search for metabolites differentiating groups of hybrids based on silage-earliness, and to search for marker-metabolites correlated with aerial biomass. METHODS Thirty genetically-diverse maize dent inbred-lines (Zea mays) crossed to a flint inbred-line were sown in a field to assess metabolite profiles upon cold treatment induced by a modification of sowing date, and characterized with climatic measurements and phenotyping. RESULTS NMR- and LC-MS-based metabolomic profiling revealed the biological variation of primary and specialized metabolites in young leaves of plants before flowering-stage. The effect of early-sowing on leaf composition was larger than that of genotype, and several metabolites were associated to sowing response. The metabolic distances between genotypes based on leaf compositional data were not related to the genotype admixture groups, and their variability was lower under early-sowing than normal-sowing. Several metabolites or metabolite-features were related to silage-earliness groups in the normal-sowing condition, some of which were confirmed the following year. Correlation networks involving metabolites and aerial biomass suggested marker-metabolites for breeding for chilling tolerance. CONCLUSION After validation in other experiments and larger genotype panels, these marker-metabolites can contribute to breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a thermophilic crop vulnerable to chilling stress. However, common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) in Guangxi (China) has the ability to tolerate chilling stress. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying chilling tolerance in wild rice, iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis was performed to examine CTS-12, a major chilling tolerance QTL derived from common wild rice, mediated chilling and recovery-induced differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between the chilling-tolerant rice line DC90 and the chilling-sensitive 9311. RESULTS Comparative analysis identified 206 and 155 DEPs in 9311 and DC90, respectively, in response to the whole period of chilling and recovery. These DEPs were clustered into 6 functional groups in 9311 and 4 in DC90. The majority were enriched in the 'structural constituent of ribosome', 'protein-chromophore linkage', and 'photosynthesis and light harvesting' categories. Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) analysis revealed distinct dynamic responses of both chloroplast photosynthetic and ribosomal proteins between 9311 and DC90. CONCLUSION CTS-12 might mediate the dynamic response of chloroplast photosynthetic and ribosomal proteins in DC90 under chilling (cold acclimation) and recovery (de-acclimation) and thereby enhancing the chilling stress tolerance of this rice line. The identified DEPs and the involvement of CTS-12 in mediating the dynamic response of DC90 at the proteomic level illuminate and deepen the understanding of the mechanisms that underlie chilling stress tolerance in wild rice.

Abstract
Differential abundance protein species (DAPS) involved in reducing damage and enhancing thermotolerance in radish were firstly identified. Proteomic analysis and omics association analysis revealed a HS-responsive regulatory network in radish. Heat stress (HS) is a major destructive factor influencing radish production and supply in summer, for radish is a cool season vegetable crop being susceptible to high temperature. In this study, the proteome changes of radish taproots under 40 °C treatment at 0 h (Control), 12 h (Heat12) and 24 h (Heat24) were analyzed using iTRAQ (Isobaric Tag for Relative and Absolute Quantification) approach. In total, 2258 DAPS representing 1542 differentially accumulated uniprotein species which respond to HS were identified. A total of 604, 910 and 744 DAPS was detected in comparison of Control vs. Heat12, Control vs. Heat24, and Heat12 vs. Heat24, respectively. Gene ontology and pathway analysis showed that annexin, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, ATP synthase, heat shock protein (HSP) and other stress-related proteins were predominately enriched in signal transduction, stress and defense pathways, photosynthesis and energy metabolic pathways, working cooperatively to reduce stress-induced damage in radish. Based on iTRAQ combined with the transcriptomics analysis, a schematic model of a sequential HS-responsive regulatory network was proposed. The initial sensing of HS occurred at the plasma membrane, and then key components of stress signal transduction triggered heat-responsive genes in the plant protective metabolism to re-establish homeostasis and enhance thermotolerance. These results provide new insights into characteristics of HS-responsive DAPS and facilitate dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying heat tolerance in radish and other root crops.

Abstract
Complex proteomic and physiological approaches for studying cold and heat stress responses in plant mitochondria are still limited. Variations in the mitochondrial proteome of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) curds after cold and heat and after stress recovery were assayed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D PAGE) in relation to mRNA abundance and respiratory parameters. Quantitative analysis of the mitochondrial proteome revealed numerous stress-affected protein spots. In cold, major downregulations in the level of photorespiratory enzymes, porine isoforms, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and some low-abundant proteins were observed. In contrast, carbohydrate metabolism enzymes, heat-shock proteins, translation, protein import, and OXPHOS components were involved in heat response and recovery. Several transcriptomic and metabolic regulation mechanisms are also suggested. Cauliflower plants appeared less susceptible to heat; closed stomata in heat stress resulted in moderate photosynthetic, but only minor respiratory impairments, however, photosystem II performance was unaffected. Decreased photorespiration corresponded with proteomic alterations in cold. Our results show that cold and heat stress not only operate in diverse modes (exemplified by cold-specific accumulation of some heat shock proteins), but exert some associations at molecular and physiological levels. This implies a more complex model of action of investigated stresses on plant mitochondria.

Abstract
Background Zucchini fruit is susceptible to chilling injury (CI), but the response to low storage temperature is cultivar dependent. Previous reports about the response of zucchini fruit to chilling storage have been focused on the physiology and biochemistry of this process, with little information about the molecular mechanisms underlying it. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of transcriptomic changes that take place after cold storage in zucchini fruit of two commercial cultivars with contrasting response to chilling stress. Results RNA-Seq analysis was conducted in exocarp of fruit at harvest and after 14 days of storage at 4 and 20 °C. Differential expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained comparing fruit stored at 4 °C with their control at 20 °C, and then specific and common up and down-regulated DEGs of each cultivar were identified. Functional analysis of these DEGs identified similarities between the response of zucchini fruit to low temperature and other stresses, with an important number of GO terms related to biotic and abiotic stresses overrepresented in both cultivars. This study also revealed several molecular mechanisms that could be related to chilling tolerance, since they were up-regulated in cv. Natura (CI tolerant) or down-regulated in cv. Sinatra (CI sensitive). These mechanisms were mainly those related to carbohydrate and energy metabolism, transcription, signal transduction, and protein transport and degradation. Among DEGs belonging to these pathways, we selected candidate genes that could regulate or promote chilling tolerance in zucchini fruit including the transcription factors MYB76-like, ZAT10-like, DELLA protein GAIP, and AP2/ERF domain-containing protein. Conclusions This study provides a broader understanding of the important mechanisms and processes related to coping with low temperature stress in zucchini fruit and allowed the identification of some candidate genes that may be involved in the acquisition of chilling tolerance in this crop. These genes will be the basis of future studies aimed to identify markers involved in cold tolerance and aid in zucchini breeding programs.

Abstract
Vernalization is classically defined as the induction of flowering process by exposure of the plants to a prolonged cold condition. Normally, it is considered as a precondition of flowering. Vicia faba, commonly known as faba bean, belongs to family Fabaceae. It is one of the plant species that has been cultivated in the earliest human settlements. In this study, an iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomic analysis has been conducted to compare the vernalized faba bean seedlings and its corresponding control. In total, 91 proteins from various functional categories were observed to be differentially accumulated in vernalized faba bean seedlings. Subsequent gene ontology analysis indicated that several biological processes or metabolic pathways including photosynthesis and phytic acid metabolism were differentially respond to vernalization in comparison to the control sample. Further investigation revealed that a family of proteins nominated as glycine-rich RNA-binding factor was accumulated in vernalized seedlings, indicating an extra layer of regulation by alternative splicing on transcript abundance in response to vernalization. These findings raise a possibility that these candidate proteins could be important to represent the responsive network under vernalization process. Therefore, we propose that the regulation of vernalization in faba bean not only occurs at the transcriptional level as previously reported, but also at the post-transcriptional level.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread heavy metal of particular concern with respect to the environment and human health. Although intensive studies have been conducted on Cd-exposed transcriptome profiling, little systematic proteome information is available on the molecular mechanism of Cd stress response in radish. In this study, the radish root proteome under Cd stress was investigated using a quantitative multiplexed proteomics approach. Seedlings were grown in nutrient solution without Cd (control) or with 10 or 50 μM CdCl2 for 12 h (Cd10 and Cd50, respectively). In total, 91 up- and 66 down-regulated proteins were identified in the control vs Cd10 comparison, while 340 up- and 286 down-regulated proteins were identified in the control vs Cd50 comparison. Functional annotation indicated that these differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were mainly involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, stress and defense and signal transduction processes. Correlation analysis showed that 33 DEPs matched with their transcripts, indicating a relatively low correlation between transcript and protein levels under Cd stress. Quantitative real-time PCR evidenced the expression patterns of 12 genes encoding their corresponding DEPs. In particular, several pivotal proteins associated with carbohydrate metabolism, ROS scavenging, cell transport and signal transduction were involved in the coordinated regulatory network of the Cd stress response in radish. Root exposure to Cd2+ activated several key signaling molecules and metal-containing transcription factors, and subsequently some Cd-responsive functional genes were mediated to reduce Cd toxicity and re-establish redox homeostasis in radish. This is a first report on comprehensive proteomic characterization of Cd-exposed root proteomes in radish. These findings could facilitate unraveling of the molecular mechanism underlying the Cd stress response in radish and provide fundamental insights into the development of genetically engineered low-Cd-content radish cultivars.

Proteomic analysis of phytase transgenic and non-transgenic maize seeds. Sci Rep 2017; 7:9246.

Abstract
Proteomics has become a powerful technique for investigating unintended effects in genetically modified crops. In this study, we performed a comparative proteomics of the seeds of phytase-transgenic (PT) and non-transgenic (NT) maize using 2-DE and iTRAQ techniques. A total of 148 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), including 106 down-regulated and 42 up-regulated proteins in PT, were identified. Of these proteins, 32 were identified through 2-DE and 116 were generated by iTRAQ. It is noteworthy that only three proteins could be detected via both iTRAQ and 2-DE, and most of the identified DEPs were not newly produced proteins but proteins with altered abundance. These results indicated that many DEPs could be detected in the proteome of PT maize seeds and the corresponding wild type after overexpression of the target gene, but the changes in these proteins were not substantial. Functional classification revealed many DEPs involved in posttranscriptional modifications and some ribosomal proteins and heat-shock proteins that may generate adaptive effects in response to the insertion of exogenous genes. Protein-protein interaction analysis demonstrated that the detected interacting proteins were mainly ribosomal proteins and heat-shock proteins. Our data provided new information on such unintended effects through a proteomic analysis of maize seeds.
