Protein phosphorylation associated with drought priming-enhanced heat tolerance in a temperate grass species.

ABSTRACT: Protein phosphorylation is known to play crucial roles in plant tolerance to individual stresses, but how protein phosphorylation is associated with cross-stress tolerance, particularly drought priming-enhanced heat tolerance is largely unknown. The objectives of the present study were to identify phosphorylated proteins and phosphorylation sites that were responsive to drought priming and to determine whether drought priming-enhanced heat tolerance in temperate grass species involves changes in protein phosphorylation. Comparative analysis of phosphoproteomic profiles was performed on leaves of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) exposed to heat stress (38/33 °C, day/night) with or without drought priming. A total of 569 differentially regulated phosphoproteins (DRPs) with 1098 phosphorylat
