Abstract
Rice crops are vulnerable to low temperatures. During development, the reproductive stage is particularly sensitive to cold exposure, which causes abnormal pollen development and a high degree of male sterility. In this study, shotgun proteomic analysis was used to analyze rice anthers containing pollen grains from a cold-tolerant variety, Dianxi 4. Protein expression was compared between normal anthers and anthers exposed to cold temperatures at the young microspore stage. In total, 3835 non-redundant proteins were identified in the rice anther. Of these, 441 proteins were differentially expressed between normal and cold-treated anthers. Pollen allergens, ATP synthase, actin, profilin, and β-expansin proteins were highly abundant, reflecting anther development, pollen germination, and pollen tube elongation. Starch and sucrose metabolic proteins such as α-amylase precursor and 4-α-glucanotransferase exhibited reduced expression after cold exposure. Among the proteins that exhibited increased expression after cold exposure, C2 domain proteins, and GRPs were identified as candidate signaling factors for mediation of the cold tolerance response. Through high-throughput proteomic analysis we were able to reveal proteomic changes against cold stress and suggest two signaling factors as the candidate genes.
