AbstractSeeds of pure rice varieties were flown on Chinese recoverable satellite, JB-1, for a 15-day flight in 1996. Many mutant rice varieties with various phenotypes were generated after continuous selection and breeding. Among the mutants, a variety 971-5 showed a significant increase in grain yield compared to its control (971ck). In this study, proteomic analysis of both mutant variety 971-5 and control variety 971ck were carried out to investigate the changes of protein expression level in their leaves at three different growth stages (early and middle stage of tillering, and booting stage). Results showed that (1) almost all differentially expressed proteins were down-regulated in 971-5 with only one exception, (2) the percentages of differentially expressed proteins were 3.1%, 2.1% and 3.1% at the three stages, respectively, and (3) one protein showed a significant alteration in its molecular weight (MW). These data demonstrated that the space environment can alter the expression level of rice proteins both quantitatively and qualitatively.
