“…Especially, the tolerant soybean cultivar showed a higher capacity in the reactive oxygen species-scavenging and in maintaining the energy supply as compared to that of the sensitive cultivar. Similarly, when the similar differential and quantitative proteomics approach was adopted to investigate the two contrasting cultivars in drought tolerance from both monocot plants, rice [118], wheat [119], maize [120], dicot plants, potatoes [121], pea [122], Brassica [123], chickpea [124], tobacco [34], and tea plant [125], it was found that these drought-related DAPs in general play a role in regulating carbohydrate, glutathione, amino acids, sucrose and nitrogen metabolism, redox homeostasis and ROS-scavenging, protein synthesis and processing (or upregulation of ClpD1 protease), defense and stress-response processes, photosynthesis, cell wall biogenesis and degradation, cytoskeleton metabolism and energy production. However, in this quantitative phosphoproteomics study, we found that the drought-tolerant cultivar SRPs (significantly regulated phosphoproteins) are mostly related to water transport and deprivation, methionine metabolic process, photosynthesis/light reaction, response to cadmium ion, osmotic stress and ABA (hormone) under drought treatment (Figures 4D and 5).…”
