Abstract
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B biotype, a destructive pest causing heavy damage to crop production, has become an important economic pest of agriculture worldwide. Here, the proteome change of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves infested by B. tabaci was studied with two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Twenty proteins showed a significant change in expression after B. tabaci infestation, including ten up-regulated and ten down-regulated. Using the Gene Ontology annotation, all except one were classified into one of four major groups based on their molecular function and biological process. Six of the proteins were involved in protein folding and regulation (HSP90.7, HSP90.3, HSP90.2, ERD1, FKB70, and ROC1), five in redox regulation (PRX2B, GPX6, MDAR3, MDARP, and Y4967), five in primary metabolism (TBA6, SPP2, PDX11, RR5, and RuBisCO activase (RCA)), and three in secondary metabolism (PR5, MYRO, and NMT2). All proteins belonging to the same group shared the same direction of change; the only exception was RCA. The proteins involved in protein folding and regulation were down-regulated indicating the inhibition of a plant defense response. Those involved in redox regulation were up-regulated, which may lead to an increase in tolerance as a result of a reduction in oxidation. Proteins involved in primary metabolism (except RCA) were inhibited while those involved in secondary metabolism were induced suggesting reallocation of resources with the host plant. These proteins will form the basis for future studies aimed at further understanding the mechanism underlying the host-adaptation capacity of B. tabaci.
