Abstract
BACKGROUND Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress. RESULTS Two-day-old soybean plants were flooded for 2 days, after which the proteins from root and cotyledon were extracted for proteomic analysis. In response to flooding stress, the abundance of 73 and 28 proteins was significantly altered in the root and cotyledon, respectively. The accumulation of only one protein, 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) (Glyma17g08020.1), increased in both organs following flooding. The ratio of protein abundance of HSP70 and biophoton emission in the cotyledon was higher than those detected in the root under flooding stress. Computed tomography and elemental analyses revealed that flooding stress decreases the number of calcium oxalate crystal the cotyledon, indicating calcium ion was elevated in the cotyledon under flooding stress. CONCLUSION These results suggest that calcium might play one role through HSP70 in the cotyledon under flooding stress.

Abstract
Abiotic stresses, such as flooding, drought, salinity, and high/low temperatures, are the major constraints that global crop production faces at present. Plants respond to a stress by modulating abundance of candidate proteins, either by up-regulating expression or by the synthesizing novel proteins primarily associated with plant defense system. The cellular mechanisms of stress sensing and signal transduction into cellular organelles have been reported. Nevertheless, the responses of plant cells to abiotic stresses differ in each organ. As the correlation between the expression of mRNAs and the abundance of their corresponding proteins is difficult to assess in specific organs, proteomics techniques provide one of the best options for the functional analysis of translated regions of the genome. The present review summarizes the organ-specific proteome analyses for better understanding of the response mechanisms of crops to abiotic stresses, including flooding, drought, and salinity. The differential organ-specific responses against each of these stresses are discussed in detail to provide new insights into plant stress response mechanisms at protein level.

Abstract
Flooding stress of soybean is a serious problem because it reduces growth; however, flooding-tolerant cultivars have not been identified. To analyze the flooding tolerance mechanism of soybean, the flooding-tolerant mutant was isolated and analyzed using a proteomic technique. Flooding-tolerance tests were repeated five times using gamma-ray irradiated soybeans, whose root growth (M6 stage) was not suppressed even under flooding stress. Two-day-old wild-type and mutant plants were subjected to flooding stress for 2days, and proteins were identified using a gel-based proteomic technique. In wild-type under flooding stress, levels of proteins related to development, protein synthesis/degradation, secondary metabolism, and the cell wall changed; however, these proteins did not markedly differ in the mutant. In contrast, an increased number of fermentation-related proteins were identified in the mutant under flooding stress. The root tips of mutant plants were not affected by flooding stress, even though the wild-type plants had damaged root. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity in the mutant increased at an early stage of flooding stress compared with that of the wild-type. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of the fermentation system in the early stages of flooding may be an important factor for the acquisition of flooding tolerance in soybean.

Abstract
Flooding is a serious problem for soybean cultivation because it markedly reduces growth and grain yields. Here, 2 proteomics techniques were used to evaluate whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-enriched fraction is altered in soybean under flooding stress. Two-day-old soybeans were treated with flooding for 2 days, and rough ER-enriched fraction was then purified from root tips. Flooding-responsive protein of ER-enriched fraction was identified using gel-free and 1D-gel based proteomics techniques, and 117 proteins were increased and 212 proteins were decreased in soybean root tips in response to flooding stress. Among the identified proteins, 111 were functionally categorized as being involved in protein synthesis, post-translational modification, protein folding, protein degradation, and protein activation. Among differentially regulated proteins, the mRNA expression levels of 14 proteins that were predicted to be localized in the ER were analyzed. Notably, 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase 1 was up-regulated and eight genes related to stress, hormone metabolism, cell wall and DNA repair were down-regulated within 1 day under flooding conditions. In addition, the expression of luminal-binding protein 5 was specifically induced in flood-stressed roots, whereas arabinogalactan protein 2 and methyltransferase PMT2 were down-regulated. Taken together, these results suggest that flooding mainly affects the function of protein synthesis and glycosylation in the ER in root tips of soybean.

Abstract
A proteomics approach was used to evaluate the effects of flooding stress on early symbiotic interaction between soybean roots and soil bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Three-day-old soybean was inoculated with B. japonicum followed by flooding. The number of root hairs in seedlings, without or with flooding stress, was increased after 3 days of inoculation. Proteins were extracted from roots and separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Out of 219 protein spots, 14 and 8 proteins were increased and decreased, respectively, by inoculation under flooding compared with without flooding. These proteins were compared in untreated and flooded seedlings. Increased level of 6 proteins in flooded seedlings compared with untreated seedlings was suppressed by inoculation in seedlings under flooding. They were related to disease/defense, protein synthesis, energy, and metabolism. Differential abundance of glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, phosphoglycerate kinase, and triosephosphate isomerase, based on their localization in middle and tip of root, indicated that they might be related to increase in number of root hairs. These results suggest that disease/defense, energy, and metabolism-related proteins may be particularly subjected to regulation in flooded soybean seedlings, when inoculated with B. japonicum and that this regulation may lead to increase in number of root hair during early symbiotic differentiation.

Abstract
A proteomics approach was used to analyze the response mechanism in soybean seedlings under low oxygen and flooding stresses. Three-day-old soybean seedlings were subjected to low oxygen and flooding stresses. Growth of root was suppressed in both stresses with more extent of suppression in flooded seedlings at 3 and 6 days following the treatments. Proteins were extracted from roots and separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Of total 1,233 protein spots, 27 protein spots were commonly changed under low oxygen and flooding stresses; while the differential change in 4 and 18 protein spots was specific to low oxygen and flooding stresses, respectively. Proteins related to metabolism and energy were increased; while protein destination/storage related proteins were decreased commonly under low oxygen and flooding stresses. Protein specie, TCP domain class transcription factor was decreased specifically under low oxygen stress; while decrease of nine proteins related to metabolism, protein destination/storage and disease/defense was specific in flooded seedlings. The decrease in majority of the proteins related to protein destination/storage specifically in flooded seedlings implies the misfolding of proteins resulting in flooded injuries in an independent way of oxygen deprivation. These results suggest that decrease in proteins related to protein destination/storage and disease/defense causes more growth suppression in soybean seedlings under flooding stress compared to low oxygen stress.

Abstract
Flooding is one of the severe environmental factors which impair growth and yield in soybean plant. To investigate the organ specific response mechanism of soybean under flooding stress, changes in protein species were analyzed using a proteomics approach. Two-day-old soybeans were subjected to flooding for 5 days. Proteins were extracted from root, hypocotyl and leaf, and separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In root, hypocotyl and leaf, 51, 66 and 51 protein species were significantly changed, respectively, under flooding stress. In root, metabolism related proteins were increased; however these proteins were decreased in hypocotyl and leaf. In all 3 organs, cytoplasm localized proteins were decreased, and leaf chloroplastic proteins were also decreased. Isoflavone reductase was commonly decreased at protein level in all 3 organs; however, mRNA of isoflavone reductase gene was up-regulated in leaf under flooding stress. Biophoton emission was increased in all 3 organs under flooding stress. The up-regulation of isoflavone reductase gene at transcript level; while decreased abundance at protein level indicated that flooding stress affected the mRNA translation to proteins. These results suggest that concurrence in expression of isoflavone reductase gene at mRNA and protein level along with imbalance in other disease/defense and metabolism related proteins might lead to impaired growth of root, hypocotyl and leaf of soybean seedlings under flooding stress.

Abstract
Ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated proteolysis plays an important role in the response to several environmental stresses. Here, we described the relationship of the proteolysis in the flooding stress in soybean (Glycine max L. cultivar Enrei). Immunoblot analyses were performed using antibodies against two subunits of 26S proteasome, Rpt5 and Rpn10, 20S proteasome and two subunits of COP9 signalosome (CSN), CSN4 and CSN5, to compare between flooded and untreated roots. We also examined their protein amounts in the condition of low oxygen. Moreover, crude extracts from flooded or untreated roots incubated with or without a proteasome inhibitor MG132 were analyzed by proteomics technique. We revealed that the amount of ubiquitinated proteins in soybean roots decreased after flooding treatment and increased to levels similar to controls after de-submergence. Both CSN4 and CSN5 accumulated following flooding treatment, although no significant difference was observed in proteasome. Low oxygen had no effect on the amount of ubiquitinated proteins or CSN4. By 2D-PAGE, the amount of 6 proteins changed significantly following MG132 treatment in flooding stressed plants. We conclude that the accumulation of CSN proteins might enhance the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins independent of hypoxia caused by flooding, thereby lowering their abundance during flooding stress.

Abstract
Changes in protein levels in drought-stressed soybean seedlings were analyzed using a proteomics approach. Three-day-old soybean seedlings were subjected to drought stress or treated with 10% polyethylene glycol (PEG) as osmotic stress. After treatment, the proteins were extracted from the leaf, hypocotyl, and root and separated using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The root was the most drought-responsive organ, with the levels of 32, 13, and 12 proteins changing in response to drought stress, PEG treatment, and both, respectively. In the leaves of PEG-treated and drought-stressed seedlings, metabolism-related proteins increased and energy production- and protein synthesis-related proteins decreased. For 3 proteins present in all organs in drought-stressed plants, mRNA was differentially regulated: heat shock protein 70 and actin isoform B were upregulated, and methionine synthase was downregulated. mRNA expression patterns reflected those of protein levels, suggesting transcriptional regulation of these proteins. Western blot analysis confirmed the increase in ascorbate peroxidase in drought-stressed plants. The downregulation of mRNA and decreased protein levels of methionine synthase in the leaves, hypocotyl, and roots of drought-stressed plants, but not in other treatments, indicated that methionine synthase is a drought response protein. These results also suggest that the decreased methionine synthase in response to drought stress can impair the soybean seedling growth.

Abstract
A proteomic approach was used to identify proteins involved in post-flooding recovery in soybean roots. Two-day-old soybean seedlings were flooded with water for up to 3 days. After the flooding treatment, seedlings were grown until 7 days after sowing and root proteins were then extracted and separated using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Comparative analysis of 2-D gels of control and 3 day flooding-experienced soybean root samples revealed 70 differentially expressed protein spots, from which 80 proteins were identified. Many of the differentially expressed proteins are involved in protein destination/storage and metabolic processes. Clustering analysis based on the expression profiles of the 70 differentially expressed protein spots revealed that 3 days of flooding causes significant changes in protein expression, even during post-flooding recovery. Three days of flooding resulted in downregulation of ion transport-related proteins and upregulation of proteins involved in cytoskeletal reorganization, cell expansion, and programmed cell death. Furthermore, 7 proteins involved in cell wall modification and S-adenosylmethionine synthesis were identified in roots from seedlings recovering from 1 day of flooding. These results suggest that alteration of cell structure through changes in cell wall metabolism and cytoskeletal organization may be involved in post-flooding recovery processes in soybean seedlings.

Abstract
Proteomics is a useful analytical approach for investigating crop responses to stress. Recent remarkable advances in proteomic techniques allow for the identification of a wider range of proteins than was previously possible. The application of proteomic techniques to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying crop responses to flooding stress may facilitate the development of flood tolerant crops. Flooding is an environmental stress found worldwide and may increase in frequency due to changes in global climate. Waterlogging resulting from flooding causes significant reductions in the growth and yield of several crops. Transient flooding displaces gases in soil pores and often causes hypoxia in plants grown on land with poor drainage. Changes in protein expression and post-translational modification of proteins occur as plants activate their defense system in response to flooding stress. In this review, we discuss the contributions that proteomic studies have made toward increasing our understanding of the well-organized cellular response to flooding in soybean and other crops. The biological relevance of the proteins identified using proteomic techniques in regard to crop stress tolerance will be discussed as well.

Abstract
While there are significant genotypic differences in cadmium (Cd) uptake and distribution in soybean cultivars, little attention has been paid to the underlying molecular mechanisms. We adopted a comparative proteomic approach coupled with metabolite analysis to examine Cd uptake and translocation in two contrasting Cd-accumulating soybean cultivars, Enrei and Harosoy, which accumulate higher amount of Cd in the roots and aerial parts, respectively. Proteins extracted from the root microsomal fraction were evaluated by immunoblot analysis using different subcellular marker proteins. Analysis of control and Cd-exposed samples by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry revealed a total of 13 and 11 differentially expressed proteins in the Enrei and Harosoy cultivars, respectively. Metabolome profiling identified a total of 32 metabolites, the expression of 18 of which was significantly altered in at least in one cultivar in response to Cd stress. Analysis of the combined proteomic and metabolomic results revealed that proteins and amino acids associate with Cd-chelating pathways are highly active in the Enrei cultivar. In addition, proteins associated with lignin biosynthesis are significantly upregulated in the Enrei cultivar under Cd stress. Our results indicate that in the Enrei cultivar, Cd-chelating agents may bind excess free Cd ion and that translocation of Cd from the roots to the aerial parts might be prevented by increased xylem lignification.

Abstract
Flooding injury is a major problem in soybean cultivation. A proteomics approach was used to clarify the occurrence of changes in protein expression level and phosphorylation in soybeans under flooding stress. Two-day-old seedlings were flooded for 1 day, proteins were extracted from root tips of the seedlings and digested with trypsin, and their expression levels and phosphorylation states were compared to those of untreated controls using mass spectrometry-based proteomics techniques. Phosphoproteins were enriched using a phosphoprotein purification column prior to digestion and mass spectrometry. The expression of proteins involved in energy production increased as a result of flooding, while expression of proteins involved in protein folding and cell structure maintenance decreased. Flooding induced changes of phosphorylation status of proteins involved in energy generation, protein synthesis and cell structure maintenance. The response to flooding stress may be regulated by both modulation of protein expression and phosphorylation state. Energy-demanding and production-related metabolic pathways may be particularly subject to regulation by changes in protein phosphorylation during flooding.

Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) is the key enzyme in alcohol fermentation. We analyzed Adh expression in order to clarify the role of Adh of soybeans (Glycine max) to flooding stress. Proteome analysis confirmed that expression of Adh is significantly upregulated in 4-day-old soybean seedlings subjected to 2 days of flooding. Southern hybridization analysis and soybean genome database search revealed that soybean has at least 6 Adh genes. The GmAdh2 gene that responded to flooding was isolated from soybean cultivar Enrei. Adh2 expression was markedly increased 6 h after flooding and decreased 24 h after floodwater drainage. In situ hybridization and Western blot indicated that flooding strongly induces Adh2 expression in RNA and protein levels in the root apical meristem. Osmotic, cold, or drought stress did not induce expression of Adh2. These results indicate that Adh2 is a flooding-response specific soybean gene expressed in root tissue.

Abstract
Flooding is a serious problem for soybeans because it reduces growth and grain yield. Proteomic and metabolomic techniques were used to examine whether mitochondrial function is altered in soybeans by flooding stress. Mitochondrial fractions were purified from the roots and hypocotyls of 4-day-old soybean seedlings that had been flooded for 2 days. Mitochondrial matrix and membrane proteins were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively. Differentially expressed proteins and metabolites were identified using mass spectrometry. Proteins and metabolites related to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and γ-amino butyrate shunt were up-regulated by flooding stress, while inner membrane carrier proteins and proteins related to complexes III, IV, and V of the electron transport chains were down-regulated. The amounts of NADH and NAD were increased; however, ATP was significantly decreased by flooding stress. These results suggest that flooding directly impairs electron transport chains, although NADH production increases in the mitochondria through the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Abstract
To understand the transcriptional responses to flooding stress in roots including hypocotyl of soybean seedlings, genome-wide changes in gene expression were analyzed using a soybean microarray chip containing 42,034 60-mer oligonucleotide probes. More than 6,000 of flooding-responsive genes in the roots including hypocotyl of soybean seedlings were identified. The transcriptional analysis showed that genes related to photosynthesis, glycolysis, Ser-Gly-Cys group amino acid synthesis, regulation of transcription, ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation and cell death were significantly up-regulated by flooding. Meanwhile, genes related to cell wall synthesis, secondary metabolism, metabolite transport, cell organization, chromatin structure synthesis, and degradation of aspartate family amino acid were significantly down-regulated. Comparison of the responses with other plants showed that genes encoding pyrophosphate dependent phosphofructokinase were down-regulated in flooded soybean seedlings, however, those in tolerant plants were up-regulated. Additionally, genes related to RNA processing and initiation of protein synthesis were not up-regulated in soybean, however, those in tolerant plants were up-regulated. Furthermore, we found that flooding-specific up-regulation of genes encoding small proteins which might have roles in acclimation to flooding. These results suggest that functional disorder of acclimative responses to flooding through transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations is involved in occurring flooding injury to soybean seedlings.

Abstract
Quantitative proteomics is one of the analytical approaches used to clarify crop responses to stress conditions. Recent remarkable advances in proteomics technologies allow for the identification of a wider range of proteins than was previously possible. Current proteomic methods fall into roughly two categories: gel-based quantification methods, including conventional two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis, and MS-based quantification methods consists of label-based and label-free protein quantification approaches. Although MS-based quantification methods have become mainstream in recent years, gel-based quantification methods are still useful for proteomic analyses. Previous studies examining crop responses to stress conditions reveal that each method has both advantages and disadvantages in regard to protein quantification in comparative proteomic analyses. Furthermore, one proteomics approach cannot be fully substituted by another technique. In this review, we discuss and highlight the basis and applications of quantitative proteomic analysis approaches in crop seedlings in response to flooding and osmotic stress as two environmental stresses.

Nitric oxide enhances desiccation tolerance of recalcitrant Antiaris toxicaria seeds via protein S-nitrosylation and carbonylation. PLoS One 2011; 6:e20714. [PMID: 21674063 PMCID: PMC3107241 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0020714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 77] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2011] [Accepted: 05/08/2011] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The viability of recalcitrant seeds is lost following stress from either drying or freezing. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting from uncontrolled metabolic activity are likely responsible for seed sensitivity to drying. Nitric oxide (NO) and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle can be used for the detoxification of ROS, but their roles in the seed response to desiccation remain poorly understood. Here, we report that desiccation induces rapid accumulation of H2O2, which blocks recalcitrant Antiaris toxicaria seed germination; however, pretreatment with NO increases the activity of antioxidant ascorbate-glutathione pathway enzymes and metabolites, diminishes H2O2 production and assuages the inhibitory effects of desiccation on seed germination. Desiccation increases the protein carbonylation levels and reduces protein S-nitrosylation of these antioxidant enzymes; these effects can be reversed with NO treatment. Antioxidant protein S-nitrosylation levels can be further increased by the application of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase inhibitors, which further enhances NO-induced seed germination rates after desiccation and reduces desiccation-induced H2O2 accumulation. These findings suggest that NO reinforces recalcitrant seed desiccation tolerance by regulating antioxidant enzyme activities to stabilize H2O2 accumulation at an appropriate concentration. During this process, protein carbonylation and S-nitrosylation patterns are used as a specific molecular switch to control antioxidant enzyme activities.

Abstract
The oxygen availability to plant tissues can vary strongly in time and space. To endure short- or long-term oxygen deprivation, plants evolved a series of metabolic and morphological adaptations that have been extensively studied. However, our knowledge of the molecular regulation of these processes is not as well understood. In this review, the recent findings on the molecular effectors that regulate the response of higher plants to oxygen deficiency are discussed. Although no direct oxygen sensor has been discovered in plants so far, mechanisms that perceive low-oxygen derived signals have been reported, involving different sets of transcription factors (TFs). The ERF (Ethylene Responsive Factor) family especially appears to play a crucial role in the determination of survival to reduced oxygen availability in Arabidopsis and rice. This class of TFs displays a broad range of targets, being involved in both the metabolic reprogramming and the morphological adaptations exploited by plants when subjected to low-oxygen conditions.

Abstract
Although canola is a moderately salt-tolerant species, its growth, seed yield, and oil production are markedly reduced under salt stress, particularly during the early vegetative growth stage. To identify the mechanisms of salt responsiveness in canola, the proteins expressed in the second and third newly developed leaves of salt-tolerant, Hyola 308, and salt-sensitive, Sarigol, cultivars were analyzed. Plants were exposed to 0, 175, and 350 mM NaCl during the vegetative stage. An increase in the Na content and a reduction in growth were observed in the third leaves compared to the second leaves. The accumulation of Na was more pronounced in the salt-sensitive compared with the salt-tolerant genotype. Out of 900 protein spots detected on 2-DE gels, 44 and 31 proteins were differentially expressed in the tolerant and susceptible genotypes, respectively. Cluster analysis based on the expression level of total and responsive proteins indicated that the second leaves had a discriminator role between the two genotypes at both salinity levels. Using MS analysis, 46 proteins could be identified including proteins involved in responses to oxidative stress, energy production, electron transport, translation, and photosynthesis. Our results suggest that these proteins might play roles in canola adaptation to salt stress.

Abstract
Flooding is a major problem for soybean crop as it reduces the growth and grain yield. To investigate the function of the soybean cell wall in the response to flooding stress, cell wall proteins were analyzed. Cell wall proteins from roots and hypocotyls of soybeans, which were germinated for 2 days and subjected to 2 days of flooding, were purified, separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue. Sixteen out of 204 cell wall proteins showed responses to flooding stress. Of these, two lipoxygenases, four germin-like protein precursors, three stem 28/31 kDa glycoprotein precursors, and one superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] were downregulated. A copper amine oxidase was found to have shifted from the basic to acidic zone following flooding stress. Based on these results, it was confirmed by the lignin staining that the lignification was suppressed in the root of soybean under the flooding stress. These results suggest that the roots and hypocotyls of soybean caused the suppression of lignification through decrease of these proteins by downregulation of reactive oxygen species and jasmonate biosynthesis under flooding stress.

Abstract
Global soybean production is frequently impacted by various stresses, including both abiotic and biotic stresses. To develop soybean plants with enhanced tolerance to different stressors, functional genomics of soybean and a comprehensive understanding of available biotechnological resources and approaches are essential. In this review, we will discuss recent advances in soybean functional genomics which provide unprecedented opportunities to understand global patterns of gene expression, gene regulatory networks, various physiological, biochemical, and metabolic pathways as well as their association with the development of specific phenotypes. Soybean functional genomics, therefore, will ultimately enable us to develop new soybean varieties with improved productivity under adverse conditions by genetic engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and nitric oxide ((•)NO) elicit numerous processes in plants. However, our knowledge of H(2)O(2) and (•)NO-responsive proteins is limited. The present study aimed to identify proteins whose accumulation levels were regulated by these signaling molecules in citrus leaves. To address this question, hydroponically grown citrus plants were treated by incubating their roots in the presence of H(2)O(2) or the (•)NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Both treatments induced H(2)O(2) and (•)NO production in leaves, indicating occurrence of oxidative and nitrosative stress conditions. However, treated plants maintained their normal physiological status. The vascular system was shown to be involved in the H(2)O(2) and (•)NO systemic signaling as evidenced by real-time labeling of the two molecules. Comparative proteomic analysis identified a number of proteins whose accumulation levels were altered by treatments. They were mainly involved in photosynthesis, defense and energy. More than half of them were commonly modulated by both treatments, indicating a strong overlap between H(2)O(2) and (•)NO responses. Using a redox proteomic approach, several proteins were also identified as being carbonylation targets of H(2)O(2) and SNP. The analysis reveals an interlinked H(2)O(2) and (•)NO proteins network allowing a deeper understanding of oxidative and nitrosative signaling in plants.

Abstract
A comparative proteomic approach was employed to explore tissue-specific protein expression patterns in soybean seedlings under heat stress. The changes in the protein expression profiles of soybean seedling leaves, stems, and roots were analyzed after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 54, 35, and 61 differentially expressed proteins were identified from heat-treated leaves, stems, and roots, respectively. Differentially expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs) and proteins involved in antioxidant defense were mostly up-regulated, whereas proteins associated with photosynthesis, secondary metabolism, and amino acid and protein biosynthesis were down-regulated in response to heat stress. A group of proteins, specifically low molecular weight HSPs and HSP70, were up-regulated and expressed in a similar manner in all tissues. Proteomic analysis indicated that the responses of HSP70, CPN-60 beta, and ChsHSP were tissue specific, and this observation was validated by immunoblot analysis. The heat-responsive sHSPs were not induced by other stresses such as cold and hydrogen peroxide. Taken together, these results suggest that to cope with heat stress soybean seedlings operate tissue-specific defenses and adaptive mechanisms, whereas a common defense mechanism associated with the induction of several HSPs was employed in all three tissues. In addition, tissue-specific proteins may play a crucial role in defending each type of tissues against thermal stress.
