Abstract
Climate change is a growing worldwide concern with respect to food security. Abiotic stresses are responsible for huge annual losses in agricultural productivity. In particular, flooding is a serious threat for many crops, including wheat and soybean, which exhibit dramatic reductions in growth and yield that result in the annual loss of billions of dollars. Flooding induces various adverse morphological and physiological effects, and forces plants to shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism through modifications at the molecular level. Proteomic analyses have greatly contributed to unraveling the flooding stress -response mechanisms that are adopted by different plant species, particularly soybean. The proteomic study of post-flooding recovery mechanisms has contributed to the search for flooding-responsive proteins and those that play essential roles in the transition from stress to post-stress conditions. This review summarizes the major findings from proteomic studies that have examined flooding stress-response mechanisms in important crop species. Furthermore, protein abundance changes and their significance during post-flooding recovery are discussed.
