摘要
[ Objective ] This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role of potassium levels in plant gene expression. [ Method ] By using wheat （ Triticum aesti- vum L. Beinong 9549） as experimental material, the protein expression in wheat roots under different levels of potassium was determined by two-dimensional elec- trophoresis （2-DE）. [ Result] Compared with the plants supplied with normal level of potassium, 152 protein spots in wheat roots under potassium deficiency con- dition showed significant differences （P 〈 0.05 ）, including 76 protein spots significantly up-regulated by more than twice and 76 protein spots significantly down- regulated by more than twice. After potassium deficiency treatment, the wheat plants were supplied with normal level of potassium for two weeks, which showed sig- nificant differences in 73 protein spots compared with the plants continuously supplied with normal level of potassium （ P 〈 0. 05 ）, including 36 protein spots signif- icantly up-regulated by more than twice and 37 protein spots significantly down-regulated by more than twice. [ Conclusion] This study indicates that potassium de- ficiency stress would lead to induction of a large number of specific proteins in wheat roots.
