Abstract
Plants absorb water and nutrients from soil through roots and transmit these resources through the xylem to the shoot. Roots therefore participate in information and material transduction as well as signal communication with the shoot. The importance of reversible protein phosphorylation in the regulation of plant growth and development has been amply demonstrated through decades of research. Here, we present a simple mass spectrometry-based shotgun phosphoproteomics protocol for Arabidopsis root tissue. Through this method, we can profile the Arabidopsis root phosphoproteome and construct signal networks of key proteins to better understand their roles in plant growth and development.
