The <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i> cold-acclimated plasma membrane proteome is primed for stress resistance

Abstract

AbstractIn order to survive subzero temperatures, some plants undergo cold acclimation (CA) where low, nonfreezing temperatures, and/or shortened day lengths allow cold-hardening and survival during subsequent freeze events. Central to this response is the plasma membrane (PM), where low temperature is perceived and cellular homeostasis must be preserved by maintaining membrane integrity. Here, we present the first PM proteome of cold-acclimated Brachypodium distachyon
