Representative Pro-Q DPS-stained 2D-IEF/SDS-PAGE gels of the total soluble proteins in the control (–PEG) and PEG-treated root tips of common bean genotype VAX 1 (A) and three magnified spots with PEG treatment-enhanced protein abundance (B). Plants were pre-cultured in a simplified nutrient solution containing 5mM CaCl2, 1mM KCl, and 8 µM H3BO3 for 48h for acclimation and pH adaptation, and then treated without or with PEG (150g l–1) in the simplified nutrient solution (pH 4.5) for 24h. Proteins were extracted from the root tips, separated by 2D-IEF/SDS-PAGE, and stained by Pro-Q DPS. Treatment-affected spots were marked by arrows and numbered consecutively. Three independent biological replications of each treatment were analysed using the Image MasterTM 2D PLATINUM Software 6.0. (This figure is available in colour at JXB online.)
