Mustafa, Ghazala Komatsu, Setsuko Insights into the Response of Soybean Mitochondrial Proteins to Various Sizes of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles under Flooding Stress Rapid developments in nanotechnology have led to the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs) in the agricultural sector. For possible interactions between NPs and crops under flooding stress to be investigated, the molecular mechanisms in soybeans affected by exposure to various sizes of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs were analyzed using a proteomic technique. In plants exposed to 30–60 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs, the length of the root including hypocotyl was increased, and proteins related to glycolysis were suppressed. Exposure to 30–60 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs mediated the scavenging activity of cells by regulating the ascorbate/glutathione pathway. Hierarchical clustering analysis indicated that ribosomal proteins were also increased upon exposure to flooding-stressed plants with 30–60 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs. Mitochondrion was the target organelle of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs under flooding-stress conditions. Mitochondrial proteomic analysis revealed that the abundance of voltage-dependent anion channel protein was increased upon exposure to flooding-stressed soybeans with 135 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs, indicating the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane was increased. Furthermore, isocitrate dehydrogenase was increased upon exposure of plants to 5 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs under flooding conditions. These results suggest that Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs of various sizes affect mitochondrial proteins under flooding stress by regulating membrane permeability and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity. 5 nm Al 2 O 3 NPs;Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles;target organelle;proteomic technique;membrane permeability;isocitrate dehydrogenase;flooding-stressed plants;Flooding Stress Rapid developments;Soybean Mitochondrial Proteins;mitochondrial membrane;Various Sizes;tricarboxylic acid cycle activity;flooding-stressed soybeans;voltage-dependent anion channel protein;exposure;135 nm Al 2 O 3 NPs;Mitochondrial proteomic analysis;flooding-stress conditions;mitochondrial proteins;Al 2 O 3 NPs 2016-10-26
