Abstract
Nitrogen application delays rice quality deterioration due to changes in its pasting characteristics; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach, we identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) during storage in paddy rice treated with different nitrogen levels. On combining the changes in physiological indicators, high-nitrogen treatment was found to downregulate β-1,3-glucanase, reduce the decomposition of cell wall components, downregulate three proteins involved in starch metabolism, decrease the range of the amylose content and increase the range of the amylopectin, upregulate three proteins related to the lysosomal pathway, and enhance glutelin degradation. In addition, it upregulated three proteins related to flavonoid synthesis, which enhanced the stress response ability of rice, thereby contributing to the stability of biological macromolecules. The discovery of these key DEPs provides potential targets for further control over the deterioration of crop seed storage quality.
