Abstract

Soybean is one of the most cultivated crops in the world; however, it is very sensitive to flooding stress, which markedly reduces its growth and yield. Morphological and biochemical changes such as an increase of fresh weight and a decrease of ATP content happen in early-stage soybean at initial-flooding stress, indicating that soybean responses to flooding stress are keys for its survival and seedling growth. Phosphoproteomics and nuclear proteomics are useful tools to detect protein-phosphorylation status and to identify transcriptional factors. In the review, the effect of flooding on soybean response to initial flooding stress is discussed based on recent results of proteomic, phosphoproteomic, nuclear proteomic, and nuclear phosphoproteomic studies. In addition, soybean survival under flooding stress, which is defined as tolerance mechanism, is discussed with the results of comprehensive analysis in flooding-tolerant mutant line and abscisic acid-treated soybean. Biological SignificanceSoybean is one of the most cultivated crops in the world; however, it is very sensitive to flooding stress, especially soybean responses to initial flooding stress is key for its survival and seedling growth. Recently, proteomic techniques are applied to investigate the response and tolerant mechanisms of soybean at initial flooding condition. In this review, the progress in proteomic, phosphoproteomic, nuclear proteomic, and nuclear phosphoproteomic studies about the initial-flooding response mechanism in early-stage soybean is presented. In addition, the tolerant mechanism in soybean is discussed with the results of comprehensive analysis in flooding-tolerant mutant line and abscisic acid-treated soybean. Through this review, the key proteins and genes involved in initial flooding response and tolerance at early stage soybean are summarized and they contribute greatly to uncover response and tolerance mechanism at early stage under stressful environmental conditions in soybean.
