ABA Regulation of Stomatal Movement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Abscisic Acid: Metabolism, Transport and Signaling

Abstract

Plants loss water and intake CO2 mainly through stomata pores, which are surrounded by pairs of guard cells. Drought stress induces the production of ABA, and ABA functions as a main endogenous hormone to close stomata to prevent water loss. In the past decades, researchers have made exciting research progresses in ABA signaling transduction in guard cells, including the identification and isolation of a number of important components of ABA signaling network from upstream ABA receptors to downstream ion channels, and an uninterrupted and relatively complete ABA signaling pathway for ABA-induced stomatal closure has emerged. In this ABA signaling cascade, guard cells first sense ABA by the binding of ABA to ABA receptors to trigger the protein interaction between ABA receptors with PP2Cs, then protein kinases inhibited by PP2Cs can be released and further activate downstream S-type anion channel SLAC1, and the efflux of cations and anions through ion channels drives the stomatal closure. At the same time, a number of known components, small molecular messengers and newly identified components involving in ABA-induced stomatal closure have not been integrated into the ABA signaling network yet, and many scientific questions remain to be answered. This chapter will review the main progresses in the ABA regulation of stomatal movement, and some remaining questions will be discussed.
