Proteomics Reveals an Increase in the Abundance of Glycolytic and Ethanolic Fermentation Enzymes in Developing Sugarcane Culms During Sucrose Accumulation.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is an economically important crop contributing to the sugar and ethanol production of the world with 80 and 40%, respectively. Despite its importance as the main crop for sugar production, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of sucrose accumulation in sugarcane culms are still poorly understood. The aim of this work was to compare the quantitative changes of proteins in juvenile and maturing internodes at three stages of plant development. Label-free shotgun proteomics was used for protein profiling and quantification in internodes 5 (I₅) and 9 (I₉) of 4-, 7-, and 10-month-old-plants (4M, 7M, and 10M, respectively). The I₉/I₅ ratio was used to assess the differences in the abundance of common proteins at each stage of internode de
