ABA signalling: A messenger's FIERY fate
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is considerable circumstantial evidence that the Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger IP(3) is involved in plant responses to the drought hormone abscisic acid. More direct evidence for this has now come from studies in which endogenous IP(3) levels have been manipulated in plants.

Two maternal genes, apx-1 and pie-1, are required to distinguish the fates of equivalent blastomeres in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.
In a 4-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, two sister blastomeres called ABa and ABp are born with equivalent developmental potential, but eventually produce distinct patterns of cell fate. The different fates of ABa and ABp are specified at least in part by inductive interactions with neighboring blastomeres. Previous studies indicate that, at the 4-cell stage, a signal from the posterior-most...
متن کاملAn inductive interaction in 4-cell stage C. elegans embryos involves APX-1 expression in the signalling cell.
During the 4-cell stage of C. elegans embryogenesis, the P2 blastomere provides a signal that allows two initially equivalent sister blastomeres, called ABa and ABp, to adopt different fates. Preventing P2 signalling in wild-type embryos results in defects in ABp development that are similar to those caused by mutations in the glp-1 and apx-1 genes, which are homologs of the Drosophila genes No...
متن کاملPost‐translational control of ABA signalling: the roles of protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination
The plant phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays significant roles in integrating environmental signals with embryogenesis, germination, seedling establishment, the floral transition and the adaptation of plants to stressful environments by modulating stomatal movement and stress-responsive gene expression. ABA signalling consists of ABA perception, signal transduction and ABA-induced responses...
متن کاملAbscisic Acid Signalling as a Target for Enhancing Drought Tolerance
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a vital hormone that confers abiotic stress tolerance in plants. The identification of PYR/PYL/RCAR proteins as bona fide ABA recep‐ tors and the subsequent elucidation of the structural mechanisms of the core ABA signalling pathway in recent years has provided new and powerful in‐ sights in targeting ABA signalling to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in agri‐ culture. Th...
متن کاملA link between magnesium-chelatase H subunit and sucrose nonfermenting 1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase SnRK2.6/OST1 in Arabidopsis guard cell signalling in response to abscisic acid
Magnesium-chelatase H subunit [CHLH/putative abscisic acid (ABA) receptor ABAR] positively regulates guard cell signalling in response to ABA, but the molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. A member of the sucrose nonfermenting 1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase 2 family, SnRK2.6/open stomata 1 (OST1)/SRK2E, which plays a critical role in ABA signalling in Arabidopsis guard cells, interacts ...
