- Abstract
Flooding stress, which reduces plant growth and seed yield, is a serious problem for soybean. To improve the productivity of flooded soybean, flooding-tolerant soybean was produced by gamma-ray irradiation. Three-day-old wild-type and mutant-line plants were flooded for 2 days. Protein, RNA, and genomic DNA were then analyzed based on oppositely changed proteins between the wild type and the mutant line under flooding stress. They were associated with cell organization, RNA metabolism, and protein degradation according to proteomic analysis. Immunoblot analysis confirmed that the accumulation of beta-tubulin/beta-actin increased in the wild type under flooding stress and recovered to the control level in the mutant line; however, alpha-tubulin increased in both the wild type and the mutant line under stress. Ubiquitin was accumulated and genomic DNA was degraded by flooding stress in the wild type; however, they were almost the same as control levels in the mutant line. On the other hand, the gene expression level of RNase H and 60S ribosomal protein did not change in either the wild type or the mutant line under flooding stress. Furthermore, chlorophyll a/b decreased and increased in the wild type and the mutant line, respectively, under flooding stress. These results suggest that the regulation of cell organization and protein degradation might be an important factor in the acquisition of flooding tolerance in soybean.
