Abstract

Drought stress has been extensively studied for its effect on the downstream signaling cascade and stress-responsive gene expression, but understanding the process has remained elusive. Recently, Zhao et al. identified DROOPY LEAF1 (DPY1) as an osmosensor and revealed a novel mechanism of DPY1-STRESS ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE6 (SAPK6)-mediated drought stress signaling in higher plants.

Keywords: DPY1; SAPK6; SnRK2; drought; osmotic stress.
