Metaproteomic datasets of wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline soils

We present metaproteome data from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline soil. For collection and acquisition of metaproteome from wheat rhizosphere under saline and normal conditions, a survey was conducted in regions of Haryana, India. Samples from 65 days old plants (wheat var HD2967) were collected and pooled and based on EC,saline (NBAIM B; EC 6mS cm-1; pH 9.0; Bhaupur 2, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) and normal soil samples (NBAIM C; EC 200 uS cm-1; pH 7.2; Near Nainform, Haryana, INDIA; 29°19'8"N;76°48'53"E) were selected for isolation of proteome with the standardized protocol at our laboratory followed by metaproteome analysis with the standardized pipepline. In total 1538 and 891 proteins were obtained from wheat rhizosphere from saline and non-saline respectively with the given parameters and software. Among 1410 proteins unique for saline soil, proteins responsible for glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and arginine and proline biosynthesis were found in saline and absent in non-saline. The present study extends knowledge about the physiology and adaptations of the wheat rhizosphere associated microbiota under saline soil.
