Effects of high temperature on rice grain development and quality
formation based on proteomics comparative analysis under field warming
Abstract
With the intensification of global warming, rice production is facing
new challenges. Field evidence indicates increased temperature during
rice grain-filling lead to a further deterioration of grain quality.
Clarifying the potential regulation mechanism of elevated temperature on
rice development and quality formation will be contributed to develop
suitable cultivation measures to better cope with climate warming in the
future. In this study, open field warming and DIA mass spectrometry were
conducted to explore the regulatory effects of high temperature on
pathways related to grain development and material accumulation during
the formation of rice quality. 840 differentially expressed proteins
(fold change > 2, p-value < 0.05) were identified
when exposed to high temperature. Among these, prolamin PPROL 14E,
PSB28, granule-bound starch synthase 1 and 26.7 kDa heat shock protein
were the most significantly regulated, and that ultimately affected the
main substances accumulation of starch and protein in the kernel, and
further degraded rice quality under high temperature. In addition, the
results provided novel targets involved in regulating the metabolism of
storage compounds under warming environment, and that will help us to
better understand the regulation mechanism of global warming on the
formation of rice quality.
