Excess Copper-Induced Alterations of Protein Profiles and Related Physiological Parameters in Citrus Leaves.

ABSTRACT: This present study examined excess copper (Cu) effects on seedling growth, leaf Cu concentration, gas exchange, and protein profiles identified by a two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) based mass spectrometry (MS) approach after Citrus sinensis and Citrus grandis seedlings were treated for six months with 0.5 (control), 200, 300, or 400 μM CuCl₂. Forty-one and 37 differentially abundant protein (DAP) spots were identified in Cu-treated C. grandis and C. sinensis leaves, respectively, including some novel DAPs that were not reported in leaves and/or roots. Most of these DAPs were identified only in C. grandis or C. sinensis leaves. More DAPs increased in abundances than DAPs decreased in abunda
