Poplar woody root proteome during the transition dormancy-active growth

Woody plants living in temperate climates finely regulate their growth and development in relation to seasonal changes; their
transition from vegetative to dormancy phase represents an adaptation to their environment. Events occurring in the shoot
during onset/release from dormancy have been largely investigated, whereas in woody roots they remain completely
unknown. In recent years, we have been interested in understanding the molecular and physiological events occurring in
poplar woody root during release from dormancy. Here, we propose the results of a comparative analysis of the proteome of
poplar woody root sampled at different time points: T0 (dormancy condition), T1 (release from dormancy), and T2 (full
vegetative condition). This study identified proteins that may be involved in the long-term survival of a dormant root or
landmarking a specific time point.
