摘要

As a key signaling molecule in plants in response to drought stress, ABA activates a complex downstream signaling network by specifically binding to members of the PYL protein family. In turn, it precisely regulates physiological processes such as stomatal closure, leaf senescence, water use efficiency, and osmotic adjustment, significantly improving plant drought tolerance. This paper describes the central role of PYL receptors in enhancing drought tolerance in plants by increasing their sensitivity to ABA (abscisic acid) and the mechanisms involved. In addition, the synergistic action of PYL and ABA also mediated the induction of growth inhibition and dormancy in plants, allowing them to adopt adaptive growth strategies to slow metabolic rates and store energy under drought conditions. Nevertheless, the synergistic effect of PYL and ABA also inhibits the drought resistance of plants. This review aims to deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanism by which PYL and ABA synergistically regulate drought resistance in plants and to provide a theoretical basis and practical way for the use of genetic engineering technology to improve drought resistance in crops.
