| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone which is important for stress responses in plants. Recent studies demonstrated that the ABA signaling pathway consists of three core components, receptor, protein phosphatase and protein kinase (SnRK2), and SnRK2 phosphorylates its substrates to transmit ABA signals. Our previous study have identified SNS1 as a SnRK2 substrate, however, its function was unknown. Then we performed a reverse genetic study, and demonstrated that SNS1 is a negative regulator of ABA signaling either in seeds or vegetative tissues. Furthermore, a trascriptome analysis using RNA-seq revealed that SNS1 regulates a part of ABA-responsive genes, as well as flowering-related genes.
