Abscisic acid (ABA) is an essential phytohormone involved in diverse physiological processes. Although genome-wide analyses of the ABA receptor PYR/PYL/RCAR (PYL) protein/gene family have been performed in certain plant species, little is known about the ABA receptor protein/gene family in the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). In this study, we identified 14 ABA receptor PYL proteins/genes (designated HbPYL1 through HbPYL14) in the most recent rubber tree genome. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, which demonstrated that HbPYLs can be divided into three subfamilies that correlate well with the corresponding Arabidopsis subfamilies. Eight HbPYLs are highly expressed in laticifers. Five of the eight genes are simultaneously regulated by ABA, jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). The identification and characterization of HbPYLs should enable us to further understand the role of ABA signal in the rubber tree.

Drought and salinity are significant environmental threats that cause hyperosmotic stress in plants, which respond with a transient elevation of cytosolic Ca and activation of Snf1-related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) and downstream responses. The exact regulators decoding Ca signals to activate downstream responses remained unclear. Here, we show that the calcium-dependent protein kinases CPK3/4/6/11 and 27 respond to moderate osmotic stress and dehydration to activate SnRK2 phosphorylation in Arabidopsis.

Plant responses to the water environment are mediated by ethylene (submergence response) and abscisic acid (ABA, drought response). Ethylene is perceived by a family of histidine kinase receptors (ETR-HKs), which regulate the activity of the downstream B3 Raf-like (RAF) kinase CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) in an ethylene-dependent manner. We previously demonstrated in the moss Physcomitrium patens that SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2), an essential kinase in osmostress responses in land plants, is activated by the B3-RAF kinase ARK, which is also regulated by ETR-HKs in an ABA- and osmostress-dependent manner.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a hormone with a long evolutionary history, dating back to the earliest living organisms, of which modern (ABA-producing) cyanobacteria are likely descendants, which existed long before the separation of the plant and animal kingdoms, with a conserved role as signals regulating cell responses to environmental challenges. In mammals, along with the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective function of ABA, nanomolar ABA regulates the metabolic response to glucose availability by stimulating glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue via an insulin-independent mechanism and increasing metabolic energy production and also dissipation in brown and white adipocytes. Chronic ABA intake of micrograms per Kg body weight improves blood glucose, lipids, and morphometric parameters (waist circumference and body mass index) in borderline subjects for prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Salt stress is an environmental factor that limits plant seed germination, growth, and survival. We performed a comparative RNA sequencing transcriptome analysis during germination of the seeds from two cultivars with contrasting salt tolerance responses. A transcriptomic comparison between salt-tolerant cotton cv Jin-mian 25 and salt-sensitive cotton cv Su-mian 3 revealed both similar and differential expression patterns between the two genotypes during salt stress.
