Research Achievements

1. Establishment and development of MS-based quantitative in vivo interactomics, IPQCX-MS.

2. Establishment of dimethyl-labeling-based quantitative PTM proteomics approach and discovery of ethylene-regulated acetylproteome.

3. Establishment of SILIA-based quantitative PTM proteomic and molecular genetic analysis of Arabidopsis touch response (thigmomorphogenesis) and discovery of TREPHs (touch-regulated phosphoproteins) playing a key role in plant mechano-signaling.

4. Functional and quantitative PTM proteomics analysis of EIN2- and EIN3/EIL1-independent phosphor-relay pathways and discovery of the dual-and-opposing (Yin-Yang) mode of action for ethylene regulation as well as the roles of phosphorylated water channel protein PIP2;1 isoform and Ser62-phosphorylated ERF110 in ethylene response.

5. Identification of novel ethylene-regulated time-dependent phosphoproteins and putative CTR1 substrates using SILIA-based quantitative and differential phosphoproteomics.

6. Establishment of SILIA-based absolute quantitation of isoform of post-translationally modified redox proteins (OxNSIL), which will provide practical means to study the redox state on redox-regulated PTM proteins.

7. Establishment of SILIA-based absolute quantitation of isoform of post-translationally modified (PTM) proteins (AQUIP), which will provide practical means to study “combinatorial PTM code” on PTM proteins.

8. Establishment of 15N stable isotope labeling in Arabidopsis (SILIA) protocol for in vivo quantitation of protein PTM, which will provide a large scale of high-throughput data for construction of phosphor-relay-mediated cell signaling network in plants.

9. Discovery of cis-cinnamic acid (cis-form) being a new class of growth regulator affecting many aspects of plant growth and development ranging from seed germination, seedling development, flowering and fruit ripening, leading to the molecular cloning of cis-cinnamate-inducible genes (ZCE1) using label-free differential proteomics approach and the map-based cloning of a cis-phenylpropanoid response (CPAR) genes.

10. Molecular breeding of transgenic citrus plants over-expressing chilling-inducible antisense ACC synthase gene.

11. The application of ethylene as a novel gaseous reporter in animal cells.

12. Improvement of tomato fruit quality through genetic engineering of SAM decarboxylase.
