Fig 6. The functional classification of differentially expressed drought-related proteins from maize leaves.

Fig 6

The number of proteins with up-regulated or down-regulated levels due to drought stress identified by the iTRAQ method in leaves of maize inbred lines 2023 (23) and CE704 (04) and their F1 hybrids 2023×CE704 (23×04) and CE704×2023 (04×23) is shown; only those proteins whose levels changed due to drought by at least two fold were included. ET: proteins of the photosynthetic light-harvesting, electron-transport chain and chlorophyll synthesis; SM: proteins participating in photosynthetic carbon fixation and saccharide metabolism; MT: membrane proteins participating in transport and energetics; LM: proteins participating in lipid metabolism; AM: proteins participating in amino acid metabolism; DX: detoxification proteins; ST: stress proteins; DH: dehydrins; CP: chaperones; SG: proteins involved in cell signalling; PT: proteases and their inhibitors; GE: proteins participating in gene expression and its regulation; MS: miscellaneous proteins.
