Profiling proteome responses to auxin transport associated with sugarcane somatic embryo development
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is a crop widely used worldwide for bioenergy production, and its genetic breeding is highly dependent on tissue culture techniques. Auxin biosynthesis and transport are critical processes for in vitro tissue culture development, but the regulatory responses associated with these processes are still poorly understood in plants. We investigated the role of auxin transport during somatic embryo differentiation in sugarcane callus using an auxin transport inhibitor through a high-throughput proteomic approach. Four concentrations of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA 0, 1, 10, and 100 µM) were tested on sugarcane embryogenic callus during the pre-maturation phase of somatic embryogenesis. Pre-maturation treatment with 100 µM TIBA inhibited the differentiation of embryogenic callus into somatic embryos. Then, embryogenic callus from control and 100 µM TIBA treatments were compared via proteomic analysis. A total of 1221 proteins were found, of which 740 were differentially accumulated (DAP) in the 100 µM TIBA/Control comparison. Among the DAPs, 33 were unique to the control treatment, 31 were unique to the 100 µM TIBA pre-maturation treatment, and 415 down-regulated and 261 up-regulated. Inhibition of auxin transport impaired the accumulation and predicted protein‒protein interactions involved in embryonic development, translation, ubiquitination, and energy metabolism. The levels of spermidine synthase and spermidine were reduced, suggesting an association between auxin and polyamines during embryonic development in vitro. The down-regulation of the proteins chaperone BOBBER1, Cullin-associated NEDD8-dissociated protein 1, and Receptor-like kinase TMK2 could be associated with auxin responses and the predicted interactions between proteasome members found during the differentiation of somatic embryos. These new findings demonstrate the role of auxin transport in downstream responses during somatic embryo differentiation and open new avenues for exploring the potential of sugarcane for biotechnological purposes.
