The geomagnetic field (GMF) has been present since the beginning of plant evolution. Recently, some researchers have focused their efforts on employing magnetic fields (MFs) higher than GMF to improve the seed germination, growth, and harvest of agriculturally important crop plants, as the use of MFs is an inexpensive and environment-friendly technique. In this study, we have employed different treatments of MF at 7 mT (milliTesla) at different time points of exposure, including 1, 3, and 6 h. The extended exposure was followed by five consecutive days at 6 h per day in barley seeds. The results showed a positive impact of MF on growth characteristics for 5-day-old seedlings, including seed germination rate, root and shoot length, and biomass weight. Furthermore, ~5 days of delay of flowering in pre-treated plants was also observed. We used a shotgun proteomics approach to identify changes in the protein signatures of root and shoot tissues under MF effects. In total, we have identified 2,896 proteins. Thirty-eight proteins in the shoot and 15 proteins in the root showed significant changes under the MF effect. Proteins involved in primary metabolic pathways were increased in contrast to proteins with a metal ion binding function, proteins that contain iron ions in their structure, and proteins involved in electron transfer chain, which were all decreased significantly in the treated tissues. The upregulated proteins' overall biological processes included carbohydrate metabolic process, oxidation-reduction process, and cell redox homeostasis, while down-regulated processes included translation and protein refolding. In general, shoot response was more affected by MF effect than root tissue, leading to the identification of 41 shoot specific proteins. This study provides an initial insight into the proteome regulation response to MF during barley's seedling stage.
自植物进化开始以来,地磁场(GMF)就已存在。最近,一些研究人员致力于利用高于地磁场的磁场(MFs)来改善具有重要农业价值的作物种子的萌发、生长和收成,因为磁场的应用是一种廉价且环保的技术。在本研究中,我们在不同的暴露时间点采用了7毫特斯拉(mT)的不同磁场处理,包括1小时、3小时和6小时。在大麦种子中,延长暴露后连续五天每天暴露6小时。结果表明,磁场对5日龄幼苗的生长特性有积极影响,包括种子发芽率、根和茎的长度以及生物量重量。此外,还观察到预处理植物的开花延迟了约5天。我们采用鸟枪法蛋白质组学方法来识别磁场作用下根和茎组织中蛋白质特征的变化。我们总共鉴定出了2896种蛋白质。在磁场作用下,茎中的38种蛋白质和根中的15种蛋白质表现出显著变化。与具有金属离子结合功能的蛋白质、结构中含有铁离子的蛋白质以及参与电子传递链的蛋白质相比,参与初级代谢途径的蛋白质增加,而这些蛋白质在处理过的组织中均显著减少。上调蛋白质的总体生物学过程包括碳水化合物代谢过程、氧化还原过程和细胞氧化还原稳态,而下调过程包括翻译和蛋白质重折叠。总体而言,茎的反应比根组织更容易受到磁场作用的影响,从而鉴定出了41种茎特异性蛋白质。本研究初步揭示了大麦幼苗期蛋白质组对磁场调节的响应。
