Solanum sisymbriifolium, a wild species of eggplant that is resistant to verticillium wilt, will be beneficial for genetically modifying eggplants. To better reveal the response of wild eggplant to verticillium wilt, proteomic analysis by iTRAQ technique was performed on roots of S. sisymbriifolium after exposure to Verticillium dahliae, and some selected proteins were also validated using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). After inoculation with V. dahliae, the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes and the malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble protein (SP) of S. sisymbriifolium roots all exhibited an increase in activity or content compared with that of the mock-inoculated plants, especially at 12 and 24 h post-inoculation (hpi). A total of 4890 proteins (47.04% of the proteins were from S. tuberosum and 25.56% were from S. lycopersicum according to the species annotation) were identified through iTRAQ and LC-MS\/MS analysis. A total of 369 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (195 downregulated and 174 upregulated) were obtained by comparison of the control and treatment groups at 12 hpi, and 550 DEPs (466 downregulated and 84 upregulated) were obtained by comparison of the groups at 24 hpi. The most significant Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment terms at 12 hpi were regulation of translational initiation, oxidation-reduction, and single-organism metabolic process in the biological process group; cytoplasm and eukaryotic preinitiation complex in the cellular component group; and catalytic activity, oxidoreductase activity, and protein binding in the molecular function group. Small molecule metabolic, organophosphate metabolic, and coenzyme metabolic processes in the biological process group; the cytoplasm in the cellular component group; and catalytic activity and GTPase binding in the molecular function group were significant at 24 hpi. Then, KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analysis was performed, and 82 and 99 pathways (15 and 17, p-value &lt; 0.05) were found to be enriched at 12 and 24 hpi, respectively. Selenocompound metabolism, ubiquinone, and other terpenoid-quinone biosyntheses, fatty acid biosynthesis, lysine biosynthesis, and the citrate cycle were the top five significant pathways at 12 hpi. Glycolysis\/gluconeogenesis, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, linoleic acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and cyanoamino acid metabolism were the top five at 24 hpi. Some V. dahliae-resistance-related proteins, including phenylpropanoid-pathway-related proteins, stress and defense response proteins, plant\u2013pathogen interaction pathway and pathogenesis-related proteins, cell wall organization and reinforcement-related proteins, phytohormones-signal-pathways-related proteins, and other defense-related proteins were identified. In conclusion, this is the first proteomic analysis of S. sisymbriifolium under V. dahliae stress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes14061247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]],"date-time":"2023-06-12T01:28:21Z","timestamp":1686533301000},"page":"1247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Roots from a Wild Eggplant Species Solanum sisymbriifolium in Defense Response to Verticillium dahliae Inoculation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Liyan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Gui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"},{"name":"School of Agriculture, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhibin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaju","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticultural Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming 650205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9537-1730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guanghui","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Agriculture, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"777","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00232228","article-title":"Specific binding of a Verticillium dahliae phytotoxin to protoplasts of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum","volume":"15","author":"Dubery","year":"1996","journal-title":"Plant Cell Rep."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Prohens, J., and Nuez, F.
