Analysis of the proteomic response of Arabidopsis seedlings exposed to priming and heat shock

We evaluated the effect of a 2h pre-treatment at 38°C on the response of Arabidopsis thaliana 6d-old seedlings to a 2h heat shock at 43°C applied 24 h later. A shotgun proteomics approach using total protein extracts was used to compare the proteome of seedlings from four type of samples, using 4 replicates: C=Control (just before heat shock on day 7) P= Primed (on day 7, 22 h after priming performed on day 6) H= Heat shock (on day 7, 2h after heat shock) PH= Priming + heat shock (on day 7, for primed seedlings, 2h after heat shock).
