The Proteomic and Peptidomic Response of Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Drought conditions impact plants at the morphological, physiological, and molecular levels. Plant tolerance to drought conditions is frequently associated with maintaining proteome stability, highlighting the significance of proteomic analysis in understanding the mechanisms underlying plant resilience. Here, we performed proteomic and peptidomic analysis of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under drought stress conditions. Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), we identified 497 and 157 differentially abundant protein (DAP) groups in leaves and roots, respectively. The upregulated DAP groups in leaves were primarily involved in stress responses, such as oxidative stress and heat response, whereas those in roots were associated with responses to water
