Mapping the 'early salinity response' triggered proteome adaptation in contrasting rice genotypes using iTRAQ approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To delineate the adaptive mechanisms operative under salinity stress, it is essential to study plant responses at the very early stages of stress which are very crucial for governing plant survival and adaptation. We believe that it is the initial perception and response phase which sets the foundation for stress adaptation in rice seedlings where plants can be considered to be in a state of osmotic shock and ion buildup.

Results

An isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) approach was used to analyze the pre-existing differences as well as the very early salt shock responsive changes in the proteome of seedlings of contrasting rice genotypes, viz salt-sensitive IR64 and salt-tolerant Pokkali. In response to a quick salt shock, shoots of IR64 e
