Engineered nano-materials (ENMs) has been widely used in agriculture, especially as nano-pesticides/nano-fertilizers to increase productivity. My study aims to explore the response of wheat plant with exposure (through root or foliar exposure) of Cu based (Cu(OH)2-NP) nano-pesticide and Mo based (MoO3-NP) nano-fertilizer at protein level. The research approach of targeted proteomics has been optimized with low limit of detections for signature peptides of target proteins. With the advantages of targeted proteomics, including high sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy, the results revealed significant up-regulation cased by Mo exposure, and down regulation caused by Cu exposure.
