Apoplast proteomic analysis reveals drought stress-responsive protein datasets in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.).

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the major environmental constrains that limit plant performance worldwide. Plant apoplast which acts as connecting link between environment and plant protoplast carries multiple functions in plant metabolism and signalling. To investigate the drought induced changes in apoplast, proteome analysis in conjunction with antioxidant enzyme activity changes were studied in chilli (Capsicum annuum L). Drought induced apoplast proteome revealed augmented phenyl alanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase activities and reduced catalase activity. LC-MS analysis of apoplast proteome revealed differential expression of proteins under water stress conditions. Up-regulation of 43 protein species which encompass stress related proteins such as defensins, peroxidises, polygalaturonase inhibitor p
