Abstract
In this study, we performed a systematic proteomic analysis of the inner integument from developing seeds of Jatropha curcas and further explored the protein machinery responsible for generating the carbon and nitrogen sources to feed the growing embryo and endosperm. The inner integument of developing seeds was dissected into two sections called distal and proximal, and proteins were extracted from these sections and from the whole integument and analyzed using an EASY-nanoLC system coupled to an ESILTQ-Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer. We identified 1526, 1192, and 1062 proteins from the proximal, distal, and whole inner integuments, respectively. The identifications include those of peptidases and other hydrolytic enzymes that play a key role in developmental programmed cell death and proteins associated with the cell-wall architecture and modification. Because many of these proteins are differentially expressed within the integument cell layers, these findings suggest that the cells mobilize an array of hydrolases to produce carbon and nitrogen sources from proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids available within the cells. Not least, the identification of several classes of seed
storage proteins in the inner integument provides additional evidence of the role of the seed coat as a transient source of reserves for the growing embryo and endosperm.
