Unravelling the molecular mechanism underlying drought stress response in chickpea via integrated multi-omics analysis

This study was aimed to deal with a comparative proteome analysis of the two chickpea genotypes with contrasting response to drought stress, ICC 4958 (drought-tolerant, DT) and ICC 1882 (drought-sensitive, DS). Proteins were extracted from the root tissues collected from the control and drought stressed plants of both the genotypes. NanoLC-MS/MS analysis of the protein sample was performed using EASY-nLC 1000 system for the separation and identification of peptides/proteins. This study provided a mechanistic insight of drought stress tolerance in chickpea.
