Categorization of identified proteins on the basis of their function in maize shoot in response to plant derived smoke solution. Maize seeds were treated without or with 2000 ppm plant-derived smoke solution for 6 h and grown for 4 days. Proteins were extracted from shoot and identified using a gel-free/label-free proteomic technique. Mapman bin code software was used to categories all the identified 69 proteins. Categories containing zero proteins are marked with (−). Abbreviations: protein, protein synthesis/degradation/ post-translational modification/targeting/folding; cell, cell division/organization/vesicle transport; RNA, RNA processing/ transcription/binding; Redox, redox homeostasis; The “Others” category includes proteins related to N-metabolism, cellular homeostasis, response to stimulus, cytoplasm, fermentation, DNA, nucleotide binding, and metal ion binding.
