Advanced proteomic technologies enable the analysis of protein changes during germination, dormancy, and ageing, enhancing our understanding of seed lifespan and vitality. Recent studies have revealed detailed insights into metabolic processes and storage protein profiles across various plant species. This knowledge is crucial for improving seed storage, conserving quality, and maintaining viability. Additionally, it contributes to sustainable agriculture by identifying stress-responsive proteins and signalling pathways that can mitigate stress and enhance farming practices. This review highlights significant advancements in seed proteomics over the past decade, discussing critical discoveries related to storage proteins, protein interactions, and proteome modifications due to stress. It illustrates how these insights transform seed biology, boosting productivity, food security, and environmentally friendly practices. The review also identifies existing knowledge gaps and provides direction for future research, underscoring the need for continued interdisciplinary collaboration in this dynamic field.

[PMID: 39451525 PMCID: PMC11505705 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46100645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Selecting high-quality varieties with disease resistance by artificial crossbreeding is the most fundamental way to address the damage caused by Calonectria spp. in eucalypt plantations. However, understanding the mechanism of disease-resistant heterosis occurrence in eucalypts is crucial for successful crossbreeding. Two eucalypt hybrids, the susceptible EC333 (H1522 × unknown) and the resistant EC338 (W1767 × P9060), were screened through infection with Calonectria isolates, a pathogen that causes eucalypt leaf blight. RNA-Seq was performed on the susceptible hybrid, the disease-resistant hybrid, and their parents. The gene differential expression analysis showed that there were 3912 differentially expressed genes between EC333 and EC338, with 1631 up-regulated and 2281 down-regulated genes. The expression trends of the differential gene sets in P9060 and EC338 were similar. However, the expression trend of W1767 was opposite that of EC338. The similarity of the expression and the advantage of stress resistance in E. pellita suggested that genes with significant differences in expression likely relate to disease resistance. A GSEA based on GO annotations revealed that the carbohydrate binding pathway genes were differentially expressed between EC338 and EC333. The gene pathways that were differentially expressed between EC338 and EC333 revealed by the GSEA based on KEGG annotations were the sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis pathways. The alternative splicing analysis demonstrated that an AS event between EC338 and EC333 occurred in LOC104426602. According to our SNP analysis, EC338 had 626 more high-impact mutation loci than the male parent P9060 and 396 more than the female parent W1767; W1767 had 259 more mutation loci in the downstream region than EC338, while P9060 had 3107 fewer mutation loci in the downstream region than EC338. Additionally, EC338 had 9631 more mutation loci in the exon region than EC333. Modules were found via WGCNA that were strongly and oppositely correlated with EC338 and EC333, such as module MEsaddlebrown, likely associated with leaf blight resistance. The present study provides a detailed explanation of the genetic basis of eucalypt leaf blight resistance, providing the foundation for exploring genes related to this phenomenon.

Yin Y, Hu M, Yang Z, Zhu J, Fang W. Salicylic acid promotes phenolic acid biosynthesis for the production of phenol acid-rich barley sprouts. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:5350-5359. [PMID: 38329450 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenolic acid exhibits a variety of well-known physiological functions. In this study, optimal germination conditions to ensure total phenolic acid enrichment in barley sprouts induced by salicylic acid treatment and its effects on sprout physiology and activity, as well as the gene expression of key enzymes for phenolic acid biosynthesis, were investigated. RESULTS When sprouts were treated with 1 mmol L-1 salicylic acid during germination and germinated at 25 °C for 4 days, the phenolic acid content was 1.82 times that of the control, reaching 1221.54 μg g-1 fresh weight. Salicylic acid significantly increased the activity of phenylalanine aminolase and cinnamic acid-4-hydroxylase and the gene expression of phenylalanine aminolase, cinnamic acid-3-hydroxylase, cinnamic acid-4-hydroxylase, 4-coumaric acid-coenzyme A, caffeic acid O-methyltransferase, and ferulate-5-hydroxylase in barley sprouts. However, salicylic acid treatment significantly increased malondialdehyde and H2O2 content, H2O2 and O2 - fluorescence intensity, as well as significantly decreasing sprout length and fresh weight. Salicylic acid treatment markedly increased the activity of peroxidase and catalase and the gene expression of peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase in barley sprouts. CONCLUSION Salicylic acid treatment during barley germination significantly promoted the enrichment of total phenolic acid by increasing the activities and gene expression levels of enzymes involved in the phenolic acid biosynthesis pathway. Salicylic acid induced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, inhibited sprout growth, and activated the antioxidant system. This study provides a basis for the future development of functional foods using phenol acid-rich plants as raw materials. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to reveal the impact of MeJA and ZnSO4 treatments on the physiological metabolism of barley seedlings and the content of phenolic acid. The results showed that MeJA (100 μM) and ZnSO4 (4 mM) treatments effectively increased the phenolic acid content by increasing the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (PAL) and cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (C4H) and by up-regulating the expression of genes involved in phenolic acid synthesis. As a result of the MeJA or ZnSO4 treatment, the phenolic acid content increased by 35.3% and 30.9% at four days and by 33.8% and 34.5% at six days, respectively, compared to the control. Furthermore, MeJA and ZnSO4 treatments significantly increased the malondialdehyde content, causing cell membrane damage and decreasing the fresh weight and seedling length. Barley seedlings responded to MeJA- and ZnSO4-induced stress by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and controlling their gene expression levels. Meanwhile, MeJA and ZnSO4 treatments significantly upregulated calcium-adenosine triphosphate, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-related kinase, and calmodulin-dependent protein genes in barley seedlings. This suggested that Ca2+ may be the signaling molecule that promotes phenolic acid synthesis under MeJA and ZnSO4 treatment. This study deepens the understanding of the phenolic acid enrichment process in barley seedlings under MeJA and ZnSO4 treatments.

Abstract
Salt stress of soybean is a serious problem because it reduces plant growth and seed yield. To investigate the salt-tolerant mechanism of soybean, a plant-derived smoke (PDS) solution was used. Three-day-old soybeans were subjected to PDS solution under 100 mM NaCl for 2 days, resulting in PDS solution improving soybean root growth, even under salt stress. Under the same condition, proteins were analyzed using the proteomic technique. Differential abundance proteins were associated with transport/formaldehyde catabolic process/sucrose metabolism/glutathione metabolism/cell wall organization in the biological process and membrane/Golgi in the cellular component with or without PDS solution under salt stress. Immuno-blot analysis confirmed that osmotin, alcohol dehydrogenase, and sucrose synthase increased with salt stress and decreased with additional PDS solution; however, H+ATPase showed opposite effects. Cellulose synthase and xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase increased with salt and decreased with additional PDS solution. Furthermore, glycoproteins decreased with salt stress and recovered with additional treatment. As mitochondrion-related events, the contents of ATP and gamma-aminobutyric acid increased with salt stress and recovered with additional treatment. These results suggest that PDS solution improves the soybean growth by alleviating salt stress. Additionally, the regulation of energy metabolism, protein glycosylation, and cell wall construction might be an important factor for the acquisition of salt tolerance in soybean.

Abstract
Soybeans have medicinal value and are an oil crop with medicinal and food properties. The present work investigated two aspects of isoflavone accumulation in soybean. First, germination conditions for exogenous-ethephon-mediated accumulation of isoflavone were optimised through response surface methodology. Second, various influences of ethephon on the growth of germinating soybeans and isoflavone metabolism were investigated. The findings of the research led to the conclusion that exogenous ethephon treatment effectively facilitated the enrichment of isoflavones in soybeans during germination. Optimal germination conditions were obtained through a response surface optimization test, which yielded the following criteria: a germination time of 4.2 d, an ethephon concentration of 102.6 μM, and a germination temperature of 30.2 °C. The maximum isoflavone content was 544.53 μg/sprout FW. Relative to the control, the addition of ethephon significantly inhibited sprout growth. Exogenous ethephon treatment led to the phenomenon that peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activities and their gene expression increased significantly in germinating soybeans. Meanwhile, the expression of genes related to ethylene synthetase increase under the effect of ethephon promoting ethylene synthesis. Ethylene multiplied the total flavonoid content of soybean sprouts relying on the increase in activity and gene expression of crucial isoflavone biosynthesis-related enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and 4-coumarate coenzyme A ligase) during germination.

Abstract
Broccoli sprouts have high isothiocyanate and selenium accumulation capacity. This study used a combination of methods, including physiological and biochemical, gene transcription and proteomic, to investigate the isothiocyanate and endogenous selenium accumulation mechanisms in broccoli sprouts under exogenous sodium selenite treatment during germination. Compared with the control, the sprouts length of broccoli sprouts under exogenous selenium treatment was significantly lower, and the contents of total phenol and malondialdehyde in 6-day-old broccoli sprouts were substantially higher. The contents of isothiocyanate and sulforaphane in 4-day-old were increased by up-regulating the relative expression of genes of UGT74B1, OX-1, and ST5b. The relative expression of BoSultr1;1, BoSMT, BoHMT1, and BoCOQ5-2 genes regulating selenium metabolism was significantly up-regulated. In addition, 354 proteins in 4-day-old broccoli sprouts showed different relative abundance compared to the control under selenium treatment. These proteins were classified into 14 functional categories. It was discovered that metabolic pathways and biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites were significantly enriched. The above results showed that exogenous selenium was beneficial in inducing the accumulation of isothiocyanate and selenium during the growth of broccoli sprouts.

Abstract
Legumes are the most important crop plants in agriculture, contributing 27% of the world's primary food production. However, productivity and production of Legumes is reduced due to increasing environmental stress. Hence, there is a pressing need to understand the molecular mechanism involved in stress response and legumes adaptation. Proteomics provides an important molecular approach to investigate proteins involved in stress response. Both the gel-based and gel-free-based techniques have significantly contributed to understanding the proteome regulatory network in leguminous plants. In the present review, we have discussed the role of different proteomic approaches (2-DE, 2 D-DIGE, ICAT, iTRAQ, etc.) in the identification of various stress-responsive proteins in important leguminous crops, including soybean, chickpea, cowpea, pigeon pea, groundnut, and common bean under variable abiotic stresses including heat, drought, salinity, waterlogging, frost, chilling and metal toxicity. The proteomic analysis has revealed that most of the identified differentially expressed proteins in legumes are involved in photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, signal transduction, protein metabolism, defense, and stress adaptation. The proteomic approaches provide insights in understanding the molecular mechanism of stress tolerance in legumes and have resulted in the identification of candidate genes used for the genetic improvement of plants against various environmental stresses. Identifying novel proteins and determining their expression under different stress conditions provide the basis for effective engineering strategies to improve stress tolerance in crop plants through marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract
Salt stress is an unfavorable outcome of global climate change, adversely affecting crop growth and yield. It is the second-biggest abiotic factor damaging the morphological, physio-biochemical, and molecular processes during seed germination and plant development. Salt responses include modulation of hormonal biosynthesis, ionic homeostasis, the antioxidant defense system, and osmoprotectants to mitigate salt stress. Plants trigger salt-responsive genes, proteins, and metabolites to cope with the damaging effects of a high salt concentration. Enhancing salt tolerance among crop plants is direly needed for sustainable global agriculture. Novel protein markers, which are used for crop improvement against salt stress, are identified using proteomic techniques. As compared to single-technique approaches, the integration of genomic tools and exogenously applied chemicals offers great potential in addressing salt-stress-induced challenges. The interplay of salt-responsive proteins and genes is the missing key of salt tolerance. The development of salt-tolerant crop varieties can be achieved by integrated approaches encompassing proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, and genome-editing tools. In this review, the current information about the morphological, physiological, and molecular mechanisms of salt response/tolerance in crops is summarized. The significance of proteomic approaches to improve salt tolerance in various crops is highlighted, and an integrated omics approach to achieve global food security is discussed. Novel proteins that respond to salt stress are potential candidates for future breeding of salt tolerance.

Abstract
Melatonin (MT) has gained increasing attention due to its pleiotropic effects. In this study, the function of exogenous MT on the response to NaCl stress and isoflavone biosynthesis in germinating soybeans was investigated. Results showed the exogenous MT (100 μM) application neutralised the negative effects of NaCl stress (60 mM), induced sprout growth, biomass and fluorescence intensity of intracellular free calcium, decreased malondialdehyde, H2O2 content and fluorescence intensity of O2•-, and enhanced superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidas activities of germinating soybeans. Meanwhile, total flavonoids and different forms of isoflavone content were enhanced by MT application, not only companied by the up-regulated relative gene expression of cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase chalcone reductase, chalcone isomerase 1A, isoflavone reductase and isoflavone synthase 1 that involved in isoflavone biosynthesis, but also increased activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase and 4-coumarate coenzyme A ligase. Given the evidence from the present study, it's proposed that the exogenous MT could relieve NaCl stress and stimulate isoflavone biosynthesis in germinating soybeans.

Abstract
Novel genetic variations can be obtained by inducing mutations in the plant which help to achieve novel traits. The useful mutant can be obtained through radiation mutation in a short period which can be used as a new material to produce new varieties with high yield and good quality wheat. In this paper, the proteomic analysis of wheat treated with different doses of 12C and 7Li ion beam radiation at the seedling stage was carried out through a Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) tagging quantitative proteomic analysis platform based on high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the traditional 60Co-γ-ray radiation treatment for reference. A total of 4,764 up-regulated and 5,542 down-regulated differentially expressed proteins were identified. These proteins were mainly enriched in the KEGG pathway associated with amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, carbon metabolism, photosynthesis, signal transduction, protein synthesis, and DNA replication. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed proteins showed that the oxidative defense system in the plant defense system was fully involved in the defense response after 12C ion beam and 7Li ion beam radiation treatments. Photosynthesis and photorespiration were inhibited after 12C ion beam and 60Co-γ-ray irradiation treatments, while there was no effect on the plant with 7Li ion beam treatment. In addition, the synthesis of biomolecules such as proteins, as well as multiple signal transduction pathways also respond to radiations. Some selected differentially expressed proteins were verified by Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) and qPCR, and the experimental results were consistent with the quantitative results of TMT. The present study shows that the physiological effect of 12C ion beam radiation treatment is different as compared to the 7Li ion beam, but its similar to the 60Co-γ ray depicting a significant effect on the plant by using the same dose. The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the application of 12C and 7Li ion beam radiation in the mutation breeding of wheat and other major crops and promote the development of heavy ion beam radiation mutation breeding technology.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2022; 175:23-32. [PMID: 35168107 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2022.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Soybean germination under ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation stress is a common and effective way to enrich the isoflavone content of sprouts. However, the growth and biomass of germinated soybeans are significantly suppressed using this method. Melatonin (MT), a novel plant biostimulant, not only plays a vital protective role in responses to various abiotic stresses but also regulates the accumulation of secondary metabolites. In the present study, the effects of exogenous MT on the growth and isoflavone metabolism of germinating soybeans exposed to UV-B stress were investigated. Compared to UV-B stress, the application of exogenous MT (25 μM) significantly increased sprout length, fresh weight, Ca2+ influx, and peroxidase activity; markedly decreased the content of malondialdehyde and H2O2 and the fluorescence intensity of H2O2 and O2•-; but had no noticeable effect on the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase during germination. Moreover, the content of total flavonoids and isoflavone monomers (including daidzein, genistein, daidzin, glycitin and genistin) in 4-day-old germinated soybeans was significantly enhanced by MT application under UV-B stress and was not only companied by dramatically increased phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, but also by markedly increased relative expression levels of phenylalanine ammonia lyase1, chalcone synthase, isoflavone reductase and flavanone 3-hydroxylase that are involved in the isoflavone biosynthesis pathway. The inhibitory effects of UV-B stress on the growth and biomass of germinated soybeans were alleviated with exogenous MT. MT enhanced the content of total flavonoids and isoflavone monomers under UV-B stress by increasing the activity and relative gene expression level of critical isoflavone biosynthesis-related enzymes.

PHYSIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF PLANTS : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2021; 27:2833-2848. [PMID: 35035139 PMCID: PMC8720132 DOI: 10.1007/s12298-021-01116-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is an important crop in semi-arid regions and a significant source of dietary proteins in India. The plant is sensitive to salinity stress, which adversely affects its productivity. Based on the dosage-dependent influence of salinity stress on the growth and ion contents in the young seedlings of pigeonpea, a comparative proteome analysis of control and salt stressed (150 mM NaCl) plants was conducted using 7 days-old seedlings. Among various amino acids, serine, aspartate and asparagine were the amino acids that showed increment in the root, whereas serine, aspartate and phenylalanine showed an upward trend in shoots under salt stress. Furthermore, a label-free and gel-free comparative Q-Tof, Liquid Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed total of 118 differentially abundant proteins in roots and shoots with and without salt stress conditions. Proteins related to DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factor family and glycine betaine (GB) biosynthesis were differentially expressed in the shoot and root of the salinity-stressed seedlings. Exogenous application of choline on GB accumulation under salt stress showed the increase of GB pathway in C. cajan. Gene expression analysis for differentially abundant proteins revealed the higher induction of ethanolamine kinase (CcEthKin), choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1-like (CcChoPh), serine hydroxymethyltransferase (CcSHMT) and Dof protein (CcDof29). The results indicate the importance of, choline precursor, serine biosynthetic pathways and glycine betaine synthesis in salinity stress tolerance. The glycine betaine protects plant from cellular damages and acts as osmoticum under stress condition. Protein interaction network (PIN) analysis demonstrated that 61% of the differentially expressed proteins exhibited positive interactions and 10% of them formed the center of the PIN. Further, The PIN analysis also highlighted the potential roles of the cytochrome c oxidases in sensing and signaling cascades governing salinity stress responses in pigeonpea.

[PMID: 35423784 PMCID: PMC8696995 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra00696g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Exogenous melatonin (10 μM) enhances ZnSO4 (4 mM) stress tolerance and regulates the isothiocyanate content of broccoli sprouts. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of melatonin in isothiocyanate metabolism under ZnSO4 stress is unclear. The effects of exogenous melatonin on growth and isothiocyanate metabolism in broccoli sprouts under ZnSO4 stress during germination were investigated by physio-biochemical methods, quantification of relative gene expression levels, and the isobaric tags for the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) labelling technique. Compared with sprouts under ZnSO4 stress alone, sprout length, fresh weight and free calcium content increased significantly in sprouts under ZnSO4 stress plus melatonin treatment while electrolyte leakage and malonaldehyde content decreased. The glucosinolate content and myrosinase activity also significantly increased in sprouts under ZnSO4 stress plus melatonin treatment compared with the control, and thus the isothiocyanate and sulforaphane content increased markedly. Meanwhile, the expression of glucoraphanin biosynthesis genes, such as MYB28, CYP83A1, AOP2, BoSAT1, and BoHMT1 was significantly induced by melatonin in sprouts under ZnSO4 stress. Furthermore, compared with sprouts under ZnSO4 stress alone, a total of 145 proteins in broccoli sprouts under ZnSO4 stress plus melatonin treatment showed differential relative abundances. These proteins were divided into 13 functional classes and revealed that pathways for sulfur metabolism, glucosinolate biosynthesis, selenocompound metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and peroxisome were significantly enriched. The present study indicates that exogenous melatonin alleviates the adverse effects of ZnSO4 stress on sprout growth and promotes glucoraphanin biosynthesis and the hydrolysis of glucoraphanin to form isothiocyanates in broccoli sprouts.

Abstract
Salt stress is a major constrain to the productivity of nutritionally rich pigeonpea, an important legume of SE Asia and other parts of the world. The present study provides a comprehensive insight on integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of root and shoot tissues of contrasting pigeonpea varieties (ICP1071- salt-sensitive; ICP7- salt-tolerant) to unravel salt stress induced pathways. Proteome analysis revealed 82 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) with ≥±1.5 fold expression on 2-Dimensional (2D) gel. Of these, 25 DEPs identified through MALDI-TOF/TOF were classified using Uniprot software into functional categories. Pathways analyses using KAAS server showed the highest abundance of functional genes regulating metabolisms of carbohydrate followed by protein folding/degradation, amino acids and lipids. Expression studies on six genes (triosephosphate isomerase, oxygen evolving enhancer protein 1, phosphoribulokinase, cysteine synthase, oxygen evolving enhancer protein 2 and early nodulin like protein 2) with ≥±3 fold change were performed, and five of these showed consistency in transcript and protein expressions. Transcript analysis of root and shoot led to positive identification of 25 differentially expressed salt-responsive genes, with seven genes having ≥±5 fold change have diverse biological functions. Our combinatorial analysis suggests important role of these genes/proteins in providing salt tolerance in pigeonpea.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of exogenous spermidine (Spd) on the physiological status, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthase activity, and gene expressions in germinating soybeans under NaCl stress. The results show that Spd significantly increases sprout growth and biomass, decreases malonaldehyde and H2O2 contents, and markedly promotes the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase of germinating soybeans. The harmful effect of NaCl stress was alleviated by exogenous Spd. GABA accumulation in germinating soybeans was caused by the activation of diamine oxidase, polyamine oxidase, aminoaldehyde dehydrogenase, and glutamate decarboxylase activities and by up-regulating their gene expression under Spd-NaCl treatment. The GABA content decreased by 57% and 46% in germinating soybeans with the application of aminoguanidine under Spd and Spd-NaCl treatments, respectively. In conclusion, spermidine induces the accumulation of GABA and increases sprouts biomass, thereby enhancing the functional quality of germinating soybeans.

Abstract
Heat stress has been proved to increase the content of melatonin in plants. In the present study, a combination of methods including physiological and biochemical, gene transcription and proteomic were used to investigate the melatonin accumulation mechanisms in mustard sprouts under heat treatment during the germination period. It was revealed that the heat treatment can significantly affect sprout growth, antioxidant enzyme activity and melatonin content in mustard sprouts. Meanwhile, the expression of melatonin key synthase genes, such as tryptophan decarboxylase genes (BjTDC 1, BjTDC 2) and serotonin N-acetyltransferase genes (BjSNAT 1), were significantly induced by heat stress, which coincided with the trend of melatonin content. Under the heat stress, a total of 172 differential abundance proteins were confidently identified in mustard sprouts and participated in many physiological processes. Functional classification analysis showed that the defense/pressure, energy and nucleotide metabolism, protein biosynthesis, signal transduction and transcription etc. were largely induced. Heat treatment stimulated a defense response at the protein level by regulating the growth and physiological metabolism in mustard sprouts. The results in this work provided novel deep insights into the proteins' response to heat stress, which will certainly promote further understanding of the heat-tolerance mechanism of mustard sprouts.

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
The normal growth of Nelumbo nucifera, a widely planted aquatic crop in Asia, was severely ruined by replant disease. The mechanism of replant disease was still unknown in aquatic crops. Complementary transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were performed by comparing seedings of first-year planting (FP) and consecutive planting (CP). 9810 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between FP and CP. Additionally, 975 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were obtained. The correlation of proteome and transcriptome illustrated phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, metabolic pathways, and MAPK signaling pathways were significantly activated. Peroxidase, determined as one of the key proteins in replant disease of N. nucifera, was phylogenetically analyzed. A new depiction of the molecular mechanism causing replant disease in N. nucifera was illustrated. A consecutive monoculture stimulated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ethylene, altered the metabolic balance of lignin and flavonoid, and attenuated the activity of antioxidant enzymes through DNA methylation. Therefore, the accumulation of autotoxic allelochemicals and the deficiency of antioxidant enzymes unavoidably suppressed the normal growth and development of replanted N. nucifera. Complementary transcriptomic and proteomic analyses unveiled the mechanism of replant disease in Nelumbo nucifera, a widely planted aquatic crop in Asia.![]()
