Comparative proteomics analysis of proteins expressed in the I-1 and I-2 internodes of strawberry stolons.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) reproduce asexually through stolons, which have strong tendencies to form adventitious roots at their second node. Understanding how the development of the proximal (I-1) and distal (I-2) internodes of stolons differ should facilitate nursery cultivation of strawberries.

Results

Herein, we compared the proteomic profiles of the strawberry stolon I-1 and I-2 internodes. Proteins extracted from the internodes were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and 164 I-1 protein spots and 200 I-2 protein spots were examined further. Using mass spectrometry and database searches, 38 I-1 and 52 I-2 proteins were identified and categorized (8 and 10 groups, respectively) according to their cellular compartmentalization and functiona
