The DAP spots from 2-DE gels were excised and digested with trypsin in 2 mL centrifuge tubes as described by Lv et al. [92 (link)] After bleaching and drying, the tryptic peptides analysis was performed by ABI 4800 Proteomic Analyzer matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS) instrument (Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex, USA). The MS/MS spectra were searched against the NCBI wheat protein database (136,744 entries)-the nonredundant Ensembl plants database of 2021 using software MASCOT version 2.1 (Matrix Science), and the related parameter settings were according to Cao et al.
