Roles of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in ABA signaling

Roles of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in ABA signaling Abscisic acid (ABA) is a universal hormone in higher plants and plays a major role in various aspects of plant stress, growth, and development. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are key signaling modules for responding to various extracellular stimuli in plants. The available data suggest that MAPK cascades are involved in some ABA responses, including antioxidant defense, guard cell signaling, and seed germination. Some MAPK phosphatases have also been demonstrated to be implicated in ABA responses. The goal of this review is to piece together the findings concerning MAPK cascades in ABA signaling. Questions and further perspectives of the roles played by MAPK cascades in ABA signaling are also furnished. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Plant Cell Reports Springer Journals

Abstract

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a universal hormone in higher plants and plays a major role in various aspects of plant stress, growth, and development. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are key signaling modules for responding to various extracellular stimuli in plants. The available data suggest that MAPK cascades are involved in some ABA responses, including antioxidant defense, guard cell signaling, and seed germination. Some MAPK phosphatases have also been demonstrated to be implicated in ABA responses. The goal of this review is to piece together the findings concerning MAPK cascades in ABA signaling. Questions and further perspectives of the roles played by MAPK cascades in ABA signaling are also furnished.
