| Summary: | Abstract Background Rhododendron chrysanthum Pall., an endangered species with significant ornamental and medicinal value, is endemic to the Changbai Mountain of China and can also serve as a significant plant resource for investigating the stress tolerance in plants. Proteomics is an effective analytical tool that provides significant information about plant metabolism and gene expression. However, no proteomics data have been reported for R. chrysanthum previously. In alpine tundra, the abiotic stress will lead to a severe over-accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Many alpine plants overcome the severe stresses and protect themselves from the oxidative damage by increasing the ratio and activity of antioxidant enzymes. Results In our study, wild type and domesticated Rhododendron chrysanthum Pall. were used as experimental and control groups, respectively. Proteomics method combined with biochemical approach were applied for the stress tolerance investigation of R. chrysanthum at both protein and ... |
