Abstract

Plant subclass III SnRK2 protein kinases are widely recognized as key regulators of abscisic acid signaling and downstream stress responses. Recent research has revealed that SnRK2s function in growth-promoting signaling pathways, suggesting that SnRK2s tightly control the yin-yang relationship between plant growth and stress responses.

Keywords: ABA; SnRK2; abiotic stress response; core signaling; growth inhibition.
