2. INTRODUCTION
• It is important to study ABA signaling. Why?
It is a key endogenous messenger in plants’ responses to biotic and
abiotic stresses [Christmann, A. et al. (2006); Adie, B.A. et al. (2007);
Ton, J. et al. (2009)]. ( e.g drought , salanity pathogen attack etc.)
Beside this also involved in seed dormancy , maturation, germination
embryo development and many other developmental processes.
3. Intro…continued….
Stomatal closure requires release of solutes from guard cells
where K+ seems to be the most important as more than 85%
of it is released during stomatal closure( Talbott and
Zeiger., 1998).
How ABA acts to induce the loss of solutes in guard cells??
4. ABA Receptors in gurad cells
Previous studies have identified several types of putative
receptors that may mediate ABA functions (McCourt and
Creelman, 2008; Cutler et al., 2010).
Most recently, a family of START domain proteins, known as
PYR/PYLs-RCARs, were shown to function as ABA receptors
(Fujii et al., 2009; Ma et al., 2009; Melcher et al., 2009;
Miyazono et al., 2009; Park et al., 2009).

6. Type 2C protein phosphatases(PP2C)
Genetic studies have identified several PP2C genes that are required for ABA
signaling in Arabidopsis. Of these members, a group A PP2C, including
ABI1, ABI2, HAB1, HAB2, AGH1, and PP2CA, generally function as negative
regulators of the ABA response (Merlot et al., 2001; Nishimura et al., 2004; Saez et
al., 2004; Kuhn et al., 2006; Rubio et al., 2009).
Studies have shown that PYL/RCAR proteins interact with PP2C -type family
members and inhibit their activities (Ma et al., 2009; Park et al., 2009; Lee at
al.,2010).
Lee et al., 2010, demonstrated the interaction between the two by Yeast two
hybrid system.
8. OST1(Snrk2) activity Is required for
proper stomatal closure
Geiger et al., 2009 , compared stoamta of WT Arabidopsis
with the stomata of ost1-2 mutant Arabidopsis plant and
showed that ost1–2 stomata during day-night transition close
much slower than those of WT plants.
They also proposed that ost1 promotes guard cell closure by
activating outward anion channel SLAC1.

11. phospholipase D-α 1(PLD)
PLD and its lipid product PA are involved in ABA signaling pathway that
leads to stomatal closure(Gosti et al.,1999; Jacob et al.,1999 ; Schroeder et
al., 2001;Sang et al., 2001a; Zhang et al., 2004; Mishra et al., 2006 ;Zhang

19. ROS mediated aba signaling
• Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the major reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and plays an important role as a second messenger in ABA-induced
stomatal closure (Pei et al., 2000; Murata et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2001;
Kwak et al., 2003; Bright et al., 2006; Miao et al., 2006).
• Treatment with exogenous catalase (CAT) reduced H2O2 accumulation and
inhibited ABA-induced stomatal closure (Zhang et al., 2001; Munemasa et
al., 2007).
• Direct application of ROS to guard cells is known to inhibit inward K+
channels (Pei et al., 2000; Murata et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2001).
• Pei et al. (2000) demonstrated that treatment of Arabidopsis guard cells
with ABA induced a rapid burst of H2O2 production that resulted in
stomatal closure. These findings have subsequently been reported in
guard cells of Vicia faba (Zhang et al., 2001c) and pea also.
20. • NO is also an essential signal mediating ABA-induced stomatal closure (Neill et
al., 2002a).
• Exogenous NO (applied as NO donors) induced stomatal closure and reduced
transpiration in Vicia faba, Salpichroa organifolia and Tradescantia sp. (Garcia-
Mata and Lamattina, 2001).
• Application of PTIO (or cPTIO), a NO scavenger, inhibited ABA-induced stomatal
closure, indicating the involvement of endogenous NO (Desikan et al., 2002;
Garcia-Mata and Lamattina, 2002; Neill et al., 2002°.
• Burnett et al., 2000 , reported that MAPK(s) mediate both ABA and H2O2 induced
stomatal closure.
• H2O2 induces the activation of a MAPK in cell cultures, leaves and protoplasts of
Arabidopsis (Neill et al., 2002b).
• Interestingly, treatment with the NO donor SNP also induces the transient
activation of a similar kinase.
21. • Two MAPK genes, MPK9 and MPK12 are preferentially and
highly expressed in guard cells.The two genes are
functionally redundant as mutation in any one of them
does not produce an altered phenotype. If the both MPK9
and MPK12 transcripts are silenced the ABA induced
stomatal closure is impaired. Furthermore, ABA and
calcium failed to activate anion channels in guard cells of
mpk9-1/12-1, indicating that these 2 MPKs act upstream of
anion channels in guard cell ABA signaling. Abscisic Acid
and H2O2 treatments enhance the protein kinase activity
of MPK12. Together, these results provide genetic evidence
that MPK9 and MPK12 function downstream of ROS to
regulate guard cell ABA signaling positively.

Notes de l'éditeur
Reported in many papers refrences here are a few only.in responcce to the wter deficiency ABA production is increased in guard cells(apoplat). This elevted amount of aba triggers a squence of events that results in closure of stomata. Thus pereventing the water loss.This plant harmone is a major player in adapting the plant to various stresses.
Plants close their stomata to conserve water in response to a water-deficit condition. Plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a key role in the adaptation to water-deficit conditions through regulatory pathways that control gene expression and stomatal closure (Luan, 2002; Zhu, 2002;Wasilewska et al., 2008). The levels of ABA in plant tissues increase under drought conditions, and ABA down-regulates guard cell turgor pressure and thus triggers stomatal closure by modifying activities of a number of ion channels (Schroeder et al., 2001). The ion channels targeted by ABA signaling include K+ channels and anion channels, which control ionic fluxes across the plasma membrane and tonoplast, thereby adjusting guard cell turgor pressure (Schroeder et al., 1987; Schroeder and Hagiwara, 1989; Lemtiri-Chlieh and MacRobbie, 1994;Negi et al., 2008; Vahisalu et al., 2008). The process starts with an increasing level of ABA activating anion efflux through anion channels thus inducing depolarization of guard cell plasma membrane. Depolarization drives K+ efflux through outward-rectifying K+ channels leading to water efflux, which reduces guard cell volume and leads to stomatal closure (Ache et al., 2000; Li et al., 2000; Ward et al., 2008).Aba signaling pathway is a very complex pathway including many signaling molecules , redundant componenets etc.
Now on the way to understand the aba signaling , the initial task is to identify and uderstand the proteins that receive the aba signal and initiate signaling cascade. The ABA receptors interacted with and inhibited PP2C phosphatase activity against the SnRK2-type kinase, releasing active SnRK2 kinase to phosphorylate, and activate the SLAC1 channel, leading to reduced guard cell turgor and stomatal closure..These receptors transmit the ABA signal through PP2C. (PYrabactin Resistance/PYrabactin Resistance-Like/RegulatoryComponent of Abscisic acid Receptor) proteinsthe ABA signaling pathway as a protein-protein interaction relay from the PYL/RCAR-type receptors, to the PP2C-SnRK2 phosphatase-kinase pairs, to the ion channel SLAC1. Previous studies have identified several types of putative receptors that may mediate ABA functions (McCourt and Creelman, 2008; Cutler et al., 2010). Most recently, a family of START domain proteins, known as PYR/PYLs-RCARs, were shown to function as ABA receptors (Fujii et al., 2009; Ma et al., 2009; Melcher et al., 2009; Miyazono et al., 2009; Park et al., 2009).Park et al.,2009 , identified ABA receptors using ABA agonist, pyrabactin

identified by genetic screen. Mutant pp2c(abi) can not bind aba recepters.abi1-1 mutant PP2C constitutively inactivated SRK2E even in the presence of ABA. Probably because aba cud not bind it .ABI1, ABI2, HAB1, HAB2, AGH1, and PP2CA, generally function as negative regulators of the ABA response
Open stomata 1 is an snrk2 type kinase. Reduction in transpiration of leaves after transition from light to dark is delayed in mutant. So stomata during transition close much slower in mutant. (perfomed using gas exchange method).Showing wilting of eexcised ost1 leaves in light. Same leaves are shown at indicated time points.Comment:- distance between leaf base and hieght have been plotted against the time since leaves were excised. Leaves of mutnat plant undergone wilting very early due to rapid loss of water.Comparison of time course of wilting of mutant and wild type. Position of leaf tip relative to leaf base was plotted against time. they showed that slac1 is regulated by abi1/osti pair i.e drought signaling phosphatase/ kinase pair.SLAc is regulated via reversible protein phosphorylation including aba signaling omponents.Downstream to receptors pp2c and snrk2 are the ion channels that control the stomatal movement.
So far I have discuused one of the major ABA signaling pathway and this is the schematic representation of the same. Under normal condition PP2c constantly interacts with aBa-activated SnrK2 and inactivates its kinase activity by dephosphorylation. When the soluble aBa receptor recognizes the aBa molecule, it binds PP2c and inhibits its phosphatase activity. then SnrK2 is activated and phosphorylates its targets, and the aBa signal is consequently turned on.HAB1, HAB2, AHG1 and AHG3/AtPP2CA.

I have put h2o2 and no saparatly but recent studies on spatial and temporal production of these milecules claim close interrelationship b/w them, where ,perhaps , the no synthesis is somehow regulated by h2o2.
All these things they support hat H2o2 , it has role in aba induccedstomatall closure. And h2o2producton seems to be essential for aba induced stomatalclosur. There are many physiological process where h2o2 and no are required.stomatal closure in response to ABA also appears to require the tandem synthesis and action of both these signalling molecules.NO donor SNP
Findings that we just discuused were soon followed by the discovery that NO is also an essentail signal mediating aba induced stomatal closure. Exogenous application of no induced stomatal closure vicia and some other sp and this process was time ,dose dependent and reversible .
First anion channels are activated by aba resultibg in loss of anions through channels it results itodepolarisation of plasma membrane that drives k+ ions out of the guard cell through outward rectifying k+ channels. Leading to water effulx followed by reduction in torgour and stomatal closure .
