Novel clues on abiotic stress tolerance emerge from embryo proteome analyses of rice varieties with contrasting stress adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

Cereal embryos sustain severe water deficit at the final stage of seed maturation. The molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of desiccation tolerance in seed embryos are similar to those displayed during water deficit in vegetative tissues. The genetic variation among six rice genotypes adapted to diverse environmental conditions was analysed at the proteome level to get further clues on the mechanisms...
