Maize Proteome Changes Under Drought in Lodging-Resistant and Susceptible Inbreds

481 differentially accumulated proteins were identified in a comparative proteomic analysis of two maize inbreds, B73 and EA2024, under well-watered and drought conditions. The dataset, authored by Rocío C. Arce and last updated in May 2026, contains results from a study investigating the trade-off between stalk-lodging resistance and drought tolerance. It likely includes protein identifiers and their accumulation levels across conditions.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate proteins for drought tolerance based on divergent accumulation patterns between inbreds.
• Analyze proteomic reprogramming in energy metabolism and signaling pathways under drought stress.
• Investigate the correlation between stalk-lodging resistance and drought sensitivity traits in maize.
• Validate functional annotations for proteins involved in photosynthesis, cofactor metabolism, and biosynthetic processes.

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on a specific, well-defined biological comparison between two genetically distinct maize inbreds.
• Analysis identifies 481 differentially accumulated proteins and functionally characterizes convergent and divergent response groups.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 385.9 KB size indicates a limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw proteomic data.
