Abstract
Crop improvement approaches have been changed due to technological advancements in traditional plant-breeding methods. Abiotic and biotic stresses limit plant growth and development, which ultimately lead to reduced crop yield. Proteins encoded by genomes have a considerable role in the endurance and adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions. Biotechnological applications in plant breeding depend upon the information generated from proteomic studies. Proteomics has a specific advantage to contemplate post-translational modifications, which indicate the functional effects of protein modifications on crop production. Subcellular proteomics helps in exploring the precise cellular responses and investigating the networking among subcellular compartments during plant development and biotic/abiotic stress responses. Large-scale mass spectrometry-based plant proteomic studies with a more comprehensive overview are now possible due to dramatic improvements in mass spectrometry, sample preparation procedures, analytical software, and strengthened availability of genomes for numerous plant species. Development of stress-tolerant or resilient crops is essential to improve crop productivity and growth. Use of high throughput techniques with advanced instrumentation giving efficient results made this possible. In this review, the role of proteomic studies in identifying the stress-response processes in different crops is summarized. Advanced techniques and their possible utilization on plants are discussed in detail. Proteomic studies accelerate marker-assisted genetic augmentation studies on crops for developing high yielding stress-tolerant lines or varieties under stresses.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Genes of Flooding-Tolerant and Flooding-Sensitive Rapeseeds Differentially Respond to Flooding at the Germination Stage. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10040693. [PMID: 33916802 PMCID: PMC8065761 DOI: 10.3390/plants10040693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Flooding results in significant crop yield losses due to exposure of plants to hypoxic stress. Various studies have reported the effect of flooding stress at seedling establishment or later stages. However, the molecular mechanism prevailing at the germination stage under flooding stress remains enigmatic. The present study highlights the comparative transcriptome analysis in two rapeseed lines, i.e., flooding-tolerant (Santana) and -sensitive (23651) lines under control and 6-h flooding treatments at the germination stage. A total of 1840 up-regulated and 1301 down-regulated genes were shared by both lines in response to flooding. There were 4410 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with increased expression and 4271 DEGs with reduced expression shared in both control and flooding conditions. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that “transcription regulation”, “structural constituent of cell wall”, “reactive oxygen species metabolic”, “peroxidase”, oxidoreductase”, and “antioxidant activity” were the common processes in rapeseed flooding response. In addition, the processes such as “hormone-mediated signaling pathway”, “response to organic substance response”, “motor activity”, and “microtubule-based process” are likely to confer rapeseed flooding resistance. Mclust analysis clustered DEGs into nine modules; genes in each module shared similar expression patterns and many of these genes overlapped with the top 20 DEGs in some groups. This work provides a comprehensive insight into gene responses and the regulatory network in rapeseed flooding stress and provides guidelines for probing the underlying molecular mechanisms in flooding resistance.

Abstract
Soybean, which is rich in protein and oil as well as phytochemicals, is cultivated in several climatic zones. However, its growth is markedly decreased by flooding stress, which is caused by climate change. Proteomic techniques were used for understanding the flood-response and -tolerant mechanisms in soybean. Subcellular proteomics has potential to elucidate localized cellular responses and investigate communications among subcellular components during plant growth and under stress stimuli. Furthermore, post-translational modifications play important roles in stress response and tolerance to flooding stress. Although many flood-response mechanisms have been reported, flood-tolerant mechanisms have not been fully clarified for soybean because of limitations in germplasm with flooding tolerance. This review provides an update on current biochemical and molecular networks involved in soybean tolerance against flooding stress, as well as recent developments in the area of functional genomics in terms of developing flood-tolerant soybeans. This work will expedite marker-assisted genetic enhancement studies in crops for developing high-yielding stress-tolerant lines or varieties under abiotic stress.

Abstract
In plant tissues proteins are present in low amounts but in a very large number. To this peculiar situation many complex foreign components render protein extraction and purification very difficult. In the last several years interesting technologies have been described to improve the technical situation to the point that some methodologies allow reaching very low-abundance proteins and minor allergens. Among enrichment methods the one documented in this report is based on combinatorial peptide ligand libraries (CPLLs) that emerged in the last decade by contributing to largely improve the knowledge in plant proteomics. It is the aim of this review to describe how this technology allows detecting low-abundance proteins from various plant tissues and to report the dynamics of the proteome components in response to environmental changes and biotic attacks. Typical documented examples with the description of their scientific interest are reported. The described technical approach and selected applications are considered as one of the most advanced approaches for plant proteomics investigations with possibilities not only to enlarge the knowledge of plant proteomes but also to discover novel allergens as well as plant biomarkers subsequent to stressful situations.

Abstract
Soybean is one of the most cultivated crops in the world; however, it is very sensitive to flooding stress, which markedly reduces its growth and yield. Morphological and biochemical changes such as an increase of fresh weight and a decrease of ATP content happen in early-stage soybean at initial-flooding stress, indicating that soybean responses to flooding stress are keys for its survival and seedling growth. Phosphoproteomics and nuclear proteomics are useful tools to detect protein-phosphorylation status and to identify transcriptional factors. In the review, the effect of flooding on soybean response to initial flooding stress is discussed based on recent results of proteomic, phosphoproteomic, nuclear proteomic, and nuclear phosphoproteomic studies. In addition, soybean survival under flooding stress, which is defined as tolerance mechanism, is discussed with the results of comprehensive analysis in flooding-tolerant mutant line and abscisic acid-treated soybean. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Soybean is one of the most cultivated crops in the world; however, it is very sensitive to flooding stress, especially soybean responses to initial flooding stress is key for its survival and seedling growth. Recently, proteomic techniques are applied to investigate the response and tolerant mechanisms of soybean at initial flooding condition. In this review, the progress in proteomic, phosphoproteomic, nuclear proteomic, and nuclear phosphoproteomic studies about the initial-flooding response mechanism in early-stage soybean is presented. In addition, the tolerant mechanism in soybean is discussed with the results of comprehensive analysis in flooding-tolerant mutant line and abscisic acid-treated soybean. Through this review, the key proteins and genes involved in initial flooding response and tolerance at early stage soybean are summarized and they contribute greatly to uncover response and tolerance mechanism at early stage under stressful environmental conditions in soybean.

Abstract
Soybean is rich in protein/vegetable oil and contains several phytochemicals such as isoflavones and phenolic compounds. Because of the predominated nutritional values, soybean is considered as traditional health benefit food. Soybean is a widely cultivated crop; however, its growth and yield are markedly affected by adverse environmental conditions. Proteomic techniques make it feasible to map protein profiles both during soybean growth and under unfavorable conditions. The stress-responsive mechanisms during soybean growth have been uncovered with the help of proteomic studies. In this review, the history of soybean as food and the morphology/physiology of soybean are described. The utilization of proteomics during soybean germination and development is summarized. In addition, the stress-responsive mechanisms explored using proteomic techniques are reviewed in soybean.

Abstract
Legume plants are key elements in sustainable agriculture and represent a significant source of plant-based protein for humans and animal feed worldwide. One specific feature of the family is the ability to establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria. Additionally, like most vascular flowering plants, legumes are able to form a mutualistic endosymbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These beneficial associations can enhance the plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Understanding how symbiotic interactions influence and increase plant stress tolerance are relevant questions toward maintaining crop yield and food safety in the scope of climate change. Proteomics offers numerous tools for the identification of proteins involved in such responses, allowing the study of sub-cellular localization and turnover regulation, as well as the discovery of post-translational modifications (PTMs). The current work reviews the progress made during the last decades in the field of proteomics applied to the study of the legume-Rhizobium and -AM symbioses, and highlights their influence on the plant responses to pathogens and abiotic stresses. We further discuss future perspectives and new experimental approaches that are likely to have a significant impact on the field including peptidomics, mass spectrometric imaging, and quantitative proteomics.

Abstract
The efficiency of stress-induced adaptive responses of plants depends on intricate coordination of multiple signal transduction pathways that act coordinately or, in some cases, antagonistically. Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) can regulate protein activity and localization as well as protein-protein interactions in numerous cellular processes, thus leading to elaborate regulation of plant responses to various external stimuli. Understanding responses of crop plants under field conditions is crucial to design novel stress-tolerant cultivars that maintain robust homeostasis even under extreme conditions. In this review, proteomic studies of PTMs in crops are summarized. Although the research on the roles of crop PTMs in regulating stress response mechanisms is still in its early stage, several novel insights have been retrieved so far. This review covers techniques for detection of PTMs in plants, representative PTMs in plants under abiotic stress, and how PTMs control functions of representative proteins. In addition, because PTMs under abiotic stresses are well described in soybeans under submergence, recent findings in PTMs of soybean proteins under flooding stress are introduced. This review provides information on advances in PTM study in relation to plant adaptations to abiotic stresses, underlining the importance of PTM study to ensure adequate agricultural production in the future.

Abstract
Rapid developments in nanotechnology have led to the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs) in the agricultural sector. For possible interactions between NPs and crops under flooding stress to be investigated, the molecular mechanisms in soybeans affected by exposure to various sizes of Al2O3 NPs were analyzed using a proteomic technique. In plants exposed to 30-60 nm Al2O3 NPs, the length of the root including hypocotyl was increased, and proteins related to glycolysis were suppressed. Exposure to 30-60 nm Al2O3 NPs mediated the scavenging activity of cells by regulating the ascorbate/glutathione pathway. Hierarchical clustering analysis indicated that ribosomal proteins were also increased upon exposure to flooding-stressed plants with 30-60 nm Al2O3 NPs. Mitochondrion was the target organelle of Al2O3 NPs under flooding-stress conditions. Mitochondrial proteomic analysis revealed that the abundance of voltage-dependent anion channel protein was increased upon exposure to flooding-stressed soybeans with 135 nm Al2O3 NPs, indicating the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane was increased. Furthermore, isocitrate dehydrogenase was increased upon exposure of plants to 5 nm Al2O3 NPs under flooding conditions. These results suggest that Al2O3 NPs of various sizes affect mitochondrial proteins under flooding stress by regulating membrane permeability and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination are crucial for controlling protein stability, localization, and conformation. Genetic information encoded in DNA is transcribed, translated, and increases its complexity by multiple PTMs. Conformational change introduced by PTMs affects interacting partners of each proteins and their downstream signaling; therefore, PTMs are the major level of modulations of total outcome of living cells. Plants are living in harsh environment that requires unremitting physiological modulation to survive, and the plant response to various environment stresses is regulated by PTMs of proteins. This review deals with the novel knowledge of PTM-focused proteomic studies on various life conditions. PTMs are focused that mediate plant-environment interaction such as stress perception, protein homeostasis, control of energy shift, and defense by immune system. Integration of diverse signals on a protein via multiple PTMs is discussed as well, considering current situation where signal integration became an emerging area approached by systems biology into account.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are excessively used as antibacterial agents; however, environmental interaction specifically with the plants remain uncertain. To study the size-dependent effects of Ag-NPs on soybean under flooding, a proteomic technique was used. Morphological analysis revealed that treatment with Ag-NPs of 15nm promoted soybean growth under flooding compared to 2 and 50-80nm. A total of 228 common proteins that significantly changed in abundance under flooding without and with Ag-NPs of 2, 15, and 50-80nm. Under varying sizes of Ag-NPs, number of protein synthesis related proteins decreased compared to flooding while number of amino acid synthesis related proteins were increased under Ag-NPs of 15nm. Hierarchical clustering identified the ribosomal proteins that increased under Ag-NPs of 15nm while decreased under other sizes. In silico protein-protein interaction indicated the beta ketoacyl reducatse 1 as the most interacted protein under Ag-NPs of 15nm while least interacted under other sizes. The beta ketoacyl reductase 1 was up-regulated under Ag-NPs of 15nm while its enzyme activity was decreased. These results suggest that the different sizes of Ag-NPs might affect the soybean growth under flooding by regulating the proteins related to amino acid synthesis and wax formation. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study highlighted the response of soybean proteins towards varying sizes of Ag NPs under flooding stress using gel-free proteomic technique. The Ag NPs of 15nm improved the length of root including hypocotyl of soybean. The proteins related to protein metabolism, cell division/organization, and amino acid metabolism were differentially changed under the varying sizes of Ag NPs. The protein synthesis-related proteins were decreased while amino acid metabolism-related proteins were increased under varying sizes of Ag NPs. The ribosomal proteins were increased under Ag NPs of 15nm. The beta ketoacyl reductase 1 was identified as the most interacted protein under varying sizes of Ag NPs. The mRNA expression level of beta ketoacyl reductase was up-regulated under Ag NPs of 15nm while its activity was decreased. These results suggest that the Ag NPs of 15nm improved the soybean growth under flooding stress by increasing the proteins related to amino acid synthesis and waxes formation.

Abstract
To identify the upstream events controlling the regulation of flooding-responsive proteins in soybean, proteomic analysis of nuclear proteins in root tip was performed. By using nuclear fractions, which were highly enriched, a total of 365 nuclear proteins were changed in soybean root tip at initial stage of flooding stress. Four exon-junction complex-related proteins and NOP1/NOP56, which function in upstream of 60S preribosome biogenesis, were decreased in flooded soybean. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of crude protein extract revealed that the protein translation was suppressed by continuous flooding stress. Seventeen chromatin structure-related nuclear proteins were decreased in response to flooding stress. Out of them, histone H3 was clearly decreased with protein abundance and mRNA expression levels at the initial flooding stress. Additionally, a number of protein synthesis-, RNA-, and DNA-related nuclear proteins were decreased in a time-dependent manner. mRNA expressions of genes encoding the significantly changed flooding-responsive nuclear proteins were inhibited by the transcriptional inhibitor, actinomycin D. These results suggest that protein translation is suppressed through inhibition of preribosome biogenesis- and mRNA processing-related proteins in nuclei of soybean root tip at initial flooding stress. In addition, flooding stress may regulate histone variants with gene expression in root tip.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Plants have evolved complicated responses to developmental changes and stressful environmental conditions. Subcellular proteomics has the potential to elucidate localized cellular responses and investigate communications among subcellular compartments during plant development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Soybean, which is a valuable legume crop rich in protein and vegetable oil, can grow in several climatic zones; however, the growth and yield of soybean are markedly decreased under stresses. To date, numerous proteomic studies have been performed in soybean to examine the specific protein profiles of cell wall, plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum. In this review, methods for the purification and purity assessment of subcellular organelles from soybean are summarized. In addition, the findings from subcellular proteomic analyses of soybean during development and under stresses, particularly flooding stress, are presented and the proteins regulated among subcellular compartments are discussed. Continued advances in subcellular proteomics are expected to greatly contribute to the understanding of the responses and interactions that occur within and among subcellular compartments during development and under stressful environmental conditions. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Subcellular proteomics has the potential to investigate the cellular events and interactions among subcellular compartments in response to development and stresses in plants. Soybean could grow in several climatic zones; however, the growth and yield of soybean are markedly decreased under stresses. Numerous proteomics of cell wall, plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum was carried out to investigate the respecting proteins and their functions in soybean during development or under stresses. In this review, methods of subcellular-organelle enrichment and purity assessment are summarized. In addition, previous findings of subcellular proteomics are presented, and functional proteins regulated among different subcellular are discussed. Subcellular proteomics contributes greatly to uncovering responses and interactions among subcellular compartments during development and under stressful environmental conditions in soybean.

Abstract
Flooding negatively affects the growth of soybean, and several flooding-specific stress responses have been identified; however, the mechanisms underlying flooding tolerance in soybean remain unclear. To explore the initial flooding tolerance mechanisms in soybean, flooding-tolerant mutant and abscisic acid (ABA)-treated plants were analyzed. In the mutant and ABA-treated soybeans, 146 proteins were commonly changed at the initial flooding stress. Among the identified proteins, protein synthesis-related proteins, including nascent polypeptide-associated complex and chaperonin 20, and RNA regulation-related proteins were increased in abundance both at protein and mRNA expression. However, these proteins identified at the initial flooding stress were not significantly changed during survival stages under continuous flooding. Cluster analysis indicated that glycolysis- and cell wall-related proteins, such as enolase and polygalacturonase inhibiting protein, were increased in abundance during survival stages. Furthermore, lignification of root tissue was improved even under flooding stress. Taken together, these results suggest that protein synthesis- and RNA regulation-related proteins play a key role in triggering tolerance to the initial flooding stress in soybean. Furthermore, the integrity of cell wall and balance of glycolysis might be important factors for promoting tolerance of soybean root to flooding stress during survival stages.

Abstract
Biophoton emissions were elevated by the exogenous plant hormone application such as jasmonic (JA) and salicylic acid (SA). To reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying flooding stress responses in soybean treated with JA and SA, biophoton emissions from plants were quantified in combination with proteomic analyses. Furthermore, treatment with exogenous JA inhibited lateral root growth and markedly reduced root weight. Out of 649 proteins identified in the JA- and JA/SA-treated plants, 44 were unique to JA-treated plants, 403 were unique to JA/SA-treated plants, and 202 were shared between the groups. These proteins were involved in stress, signaling, degradation, glycolysis, fermentation, and hormone metabolism. The abundances of glutathione-S-transferase, alanine aminotransferase, and malate dehydrogenase were decreased; however, the activities of these enzymes were increased. In contrast, the abundance and activity of monodehydroascorbate reductase increased in the roots of plants treated with JA and SA under flooding stress. This suggests that the quantity of lateral roots, total root mass, and free radicals generated during oxidation and reduction reactions and reactive oxygen species scavenging largely contribute to biophoton emission. Furthermore, monodehydroascorbate reductase, which is involved in detoxification and controlling hydrogen peroxide levels, may protect plant cells against oxidative damage during flooding. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE To understand the source of biophoton emission and molecular mechanism by the application of jasmonic and salicylic acid under flooding conditions in soybean plants, the label-free quantitative techniques were performed in roots. Root lengths and weights were significantly reduced by the effect of jasmonic and salicylic acid while it inhibited growth of the lateral roots in normal conditions using the jasmonic acid. Finally, identified proteins were functionally annotated by MAPMAN software application; that were assigned to different functional categories, such as stress, signaling, protein, glycolysis, metabolism, cell wall, and cell organization. Consequently, this study offers to learn the photon emission in plants and to know the molecular mechanism under flooding stress in soybean.
