Abscisic acid (ABA,)[[Image:Abscisic acid.svg.png|thumb| Abscisic Acid]] is a plant hormone that regulates seed dormancy and germination, stomatal closure, and responses to drought stress, and its core signaling pathway has recently been identified.<ref>PMID:15012233</ref><ref>PMID:12045268</ref><ref>PMID:20192755</ref> In Arabidopsis, this pathway involves an ABA receptor (PYR1, PYR2, PYL1, PYL2, and RCAR), a protein phosphatase 2C in Clade C (ABI1, ABI2, and HAB1), and a protein kinase in subclass III of SnRK2s ([[SnRK2.6/OST1/SRK2E]], SNRK2.2/SRK2D and SnRK2.3/SRK2IA).<ref name = "Mustilli2002">PMID:12468729</ref><ref>PMID:12514244</ref><ref name = "Nakashima2009">PMID:19541597</ref><ref name = "Fujii2007">PMID:17307925</ref>
 
As shown in the left figure, when the ABA level in the cytosol is low, the ABA receptor (R) is an unliganded monomer, and the SNRK2 protein kinase (K) is bound to a protein phosphatase 2C (P) in a complex (K-P) in which the kinase is dephosphorylated and inactivated by the phosphatase.  ABA binds to the ABA receptor (R)<ref>PMID:19893533</ref><ref>PMID:19407143</ref><ref>PMID:19407142</ref>.

The ABA receptor family includes PYR1, PYR2, PYL1, PYL2, and RCAR. The ABA-responsive protein phosphatase 2Cs are in Clade C and they include ABI1, ABI2, and HAB1. The ABA-activated protein kinases are in subclass III of SnRK2s and they include [[SnRK2.6/OST1/SRK2E]], and SNRK2.2/SRK2D and SnRK2.3/SRK2I
