Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis reveals important hub proteins and sub-network modules for root development in rice (Oryza sativa).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The root system is vital to plant growth and survival. Therefore, genetic improvement of the root system is beneficial for developing stress-tolerant and improved plant varieties. This requires the identification of proteins that significantly contribute to root development. Analyzing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is vastly beneficial in studying developmental phenotypes, such as root development, because a phenotype is an outcome of several interacting proteins. PPI networks can be analyzed to identify modules and get a global understanding of important proteins governing the phenotypes. PPI network analysis for root development in rice has not been performed before and has the potential to yield new findings to improve stress tolerance.
