Conclusion
In this study, we successfully identified proteins in rice cultivar that might be related to BPH resistance. 2-DE coupled MS were applied to identify differentially expressed proteins in the rice cultivars resistant to BPH, compared with susceptible cultivars. Lignin production by activated glycolysis connected to a phenylpropanoid pathway may be responsible for rice resistance to the BPH mechanism. These findings suggested that the identified proteins are providing important information for plant breeders to develop rice resistant to BPH.
