Abstract
Drought is a major constraint to the productivity of many crops affecting various physiological and biochemical processes. Seventy percent of the peanuts are grown in semiarid tropics that are frequently prone to drought stress. So, we analyzed its effect in 4 cultivars of peanut, with different degrees of drought tolerance, under 10 and 20 days of water stress using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. A total of 189 differentially expressed protein spots were identified in the leaf proteome of all the 4 cultivars using PD Quest Basic software; 74 in ICGV 91114, 41 in ICGS 76, 44 in J 11 and 30 in JL 24. Of these, 30 protein spots were subjected to in-gel trypsin digestion followed by MALDI-TOF that are functionally categorized into 5 groups: molecular chaperones, signal transducers, photosynthetic proteins, defense proteins and detoxification proteins. Of these, 12 proteins were sequenced. Late embryogenesis abundant protein, calcium ion binding protein, sucrose synthase isoform-1, 17.3 kDa heat shock protein and structural maintenance of chromosome proteins were overexpressed only in the 15 and 20 days stressed plants of ICGV 91114 cultivar while cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase was expressed with varying levels in the 10 and 20 days stressed plants of all the 4 cultivars. Signaling protein like 14-3-3 and defense proteins like alpha-methyl-mannoside-specific lectin and mannose/glucose-binding lectins were differentially expressed in the 4 cultivars. Photosynthetic protein like Rubisco was down-regulated in the stressed plants of all 4 cultivars while Photosystem-I reaction center subunit-II of chloroplast precursor protein was overexpressed in only 20 days stressed plants of ICGV 91114, ICGS 76 and J11 cultivars. These differentially expressed proteins could potentially be used as protein markers for screening the peanut germplasm and further crop improvement.
