Lupine embryo axes under salinity stress. II. Mitochondrial proteome response.

ABSTRACT: Germination is the first step of plant growth in plant life cycle. An embryonic radicle protruding the seed coat is the first part of plant which has direct contact with external environment including salt-affected soil. In embryo axes, mitochondria are the main energy producer. To understand better salinity impact on mitochondria functioning, this study was focused on the effect of NaCl stress onto mitochondria proteome. Mitochondria were isolated from yellow lupine (Lupine luteus L. 'Mister') embryo axes cultured in vitro for 12 h with 250 and 500 mM NaCl. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of mitochondrial proteins isolated from NaCl-treated axes demonstrated significant changes in proteins abundances as a response to salinity treatment.
