Identification of Proteoforms Related to Nelumbo nucifera Flower Petaloid Through Proteogenomic Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Nelumbo nucifera is an aquatic plant with a high ornamental value due to its flower. Despite the release of several versions of the lotus genome, its annotation remains inefficient, which makes it difficult to obtain a more comprehensive knowledge when -omic studies are applied to understand the different biological processes. Focusing on the petaloid of the lotus flower, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis among five major floral organs. The proteogenomic strategy was applied to analyze the mass spectrometry data in order to dig out novel proteoforms that are involved in the petaloids of the lotus flower. The results revealed that a total of 4863 proteins corresponding to novel genes were identified, with 227 containing single amino acid variants (SAAVs), and 72 originati
