The present study investigated drought-induced changes in proteome profiles of ten DH lines of winter barley, relatively varied in water deficit tolerance level. Additionally, the parameters describing the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus and the activity of the antioxidative system were analysed. Water deficit (3-week growth in soil with water content reduced to ca. 35%) induced significant changes in leaf water relations and reduced photosynthetic activity, probably due to decreased stomatal conductance. It was associated with changes in protein abundance and altered activity of antioxidative enzymes. From 47 MS-identified proteins discriminating more tolerant from drought-sensitive genotypes, only two revealed distinctly higher while seven revealed lower abundance in drought-treated plants of tolerant DH lines in comparison to sensitive ones. The majority were involved in the dark phase of photosynthesis. Another factor of great importance seems to be the ability to sustain, during drought stress, relatively high activity of enzymes (SOD and CAT) decomposing reactive oxygen species and protecting plant cell from oxidative damages. Low molecular weight antioxidants seem to play less important roles. Our findings also suggest that high tolerance to drought stress in barley is a constitutively controlled trait regulated by the rate of protein synthesis and their activity level.Biological significanceAccording to our knowledge, this is the first comparative proteomic analysis of drought tolerance performed for the model set of several winter barley doubled haploid (DH) lines. We analysed both the drought impact on the protein pattern of individual winter barley DH lines as well as comparisons between them according to their level of drought tolerance. We have identified 47 proteins discriminating drought-tolerant from drought-sensitive genotypes. The majority was involved in the dark phase of photosynthesis. Another factor of great importance in our opinion seems to be the ability to sustain, during drought stress, relatively high activity of antioxidative enzymes (SOD and CAT) decomposing reactive oxygen species and protecting plant cell from oxidative damages. Our findings also suggest that high tolerance to drought stress in barley is a constitutively-controlled trait regulated by the rate of protein synthesis and their activity level.
