| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The signaling pathway related to a plant hormone, abscisic acid (ABA), plays a major role on the acquiring mechanism of resistance to drought in plants. This study was clarified the combinations to form a secondary or a ternary complex by analysis of interactions with key regulatory proteins in ABA signaling pathway, namely ABA receptors PYR/PYL, protein kinases SnRK2s known as positive regulators, and protein phosphatases PP2Cs known as negative regulators, and crystallization experiments on the target single protein and the protein complex were conducted for structural analysis. These findings are expected to provide novel information on the molecular alteration towards breeding of drought tolerance plants.
