Proteomic Changes in Paspalum fasciculatum Leaves Exposed to Cd Stress.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that is widely distributed in water, soil, and air. It is present in agrochemicals, wastewater, battery waste, and volcanic eruptions. Thus, it can be absorbed by plants and enter the trophic chain. P. fasciculatum is a plant with phytoremediation capacity that can tolerate Cd stress, but changes in its proteome related to this tolerance have not yet been identified. (2) Methods: We conducted a quantitative analysis of the proteins present in P. fasciculatum leaves cultivated under greenhouse conditions in mining soils doped with 0 mg kg^-1 (control), 30 mg kg^-1, or 50 mg kg^-1. This was carried out using the label-free shotgun proteomics technique. In this way, we determined the changes in the prot
