Plants live an immobile life style. They have to survive whatever the environment imposed on them. Drought and salinity are the most common abiotic stresses plants have to encounter. To investigate how plants respond to salinity stress, we examined the dynamic change of rice proteome during NaCl stress using Fluorescence 2-D Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) approach. The relative quantitative data of root and leaf proteome during stress were obtained. Some salt stress specific proteins were identified using tandem mass spectrometry. Possible posttranslational modifications of the induced proteins are under investigation.
