Proteome modifications on tomato under extreme high light induced-stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Abiotic stress reduces photosynthetic yield and plant growth, negatively impacting global crop production and is a major constraint faced by agriculture. However, the knowledge on the impact on plants under extremely high irradiance is limited. We present the first in-depth proteomics analysis of plants treated with a method developed by our research group to generate a light gradient using an extremely intense light.

Methods

The method consists of utilizing light emitting diodes (LED) to create a single spot at 24,000 μmol m^- 2 s^- 1 irradiance, generating three light stress levels. A light map and temperature profile were obtained during the light experiment. The proteins expressed in the treated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, Heinz H1
