Integrating proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles provide new insights into ABA-dependent signal regulation network in maize response to heat stress by Yanpei Liu, Yulong Zhao, Haiying Zhan, Shanshan Lv, Yanmin Luo, Wei Wang, Xiuli Hu

“…Among them, heat shock proteins (17 DEPs and 3 DEPPs), transcription factors (9 DEPs and 27 DEPPs), ubiquitin-proteasome system components (1 DEP and 6 DEPPs), translation-related to proteins (23 DEPs and 22 DEPPs) and defensive proteins (12 DEP and 24 DEPPs) were identified, indicating that chaperon protein function, protein turnover, and defense system might be the key ABA-mediated processes in maize HS response. …”
