The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is a regulator of plant growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. Although several proteins have been reported to function as ABA receptors and many more are known to be involved in ABA signalling, the identities of ABA receptors remain controversial and the mechanism of signalling unclear. ABA-mediated signalling is now reconstituted in vitro, defining a minimal set of core components of the pathway.
