Rice proteins were isolated from leaf, stem and root tissues, harvesting at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 weeks after budding. Each tissue of each age was separately pulverized in liquid nitrogen, and the resulted tissue powders were suspended in 10% TCA‐acetone and followed by acetone suspension to precipitate at low temperature, which resulted in the tissue‐specific and age‐specific protein mixture. The protein mixtures were separated by 2‐DE using polyacrylamide gels (26×20 cm). The protein spots were identified by N‐terminal sequence analysis and by MALDI and LC‐MS/MS analyses after in‐gel tryptic digestion. From a total of 4532 spots, 676 unique proteins were identified, of which 80 proteins (12%) were observed in all three tissues: leaf, stem and root. In addition, 45 (7%) were common in leaf and stem, 57 (8%) in stem and root, and 10 (2%) proteins in root and leaf. Also 141 unique proteins (21%) were observed only for leaf, 96 (14%) for stem, and 247 (36%) for root tissue. Proteins playing a role for photosynthesis and energy production were most abundant in leaf and stem, and those for cell defense were rich in roots.
