ABA treatment and drought stress stimulated susceptibility to an avirulent isolate of P. syringae pv. tomato. Unlike the WT, the ABA-deficient mutant aba1-1 reacted to virulent H. parasitica with hypersensitive response (HR)-like necrotic spots and displayed increased resistance. The results suggest that ABA can modulate resistance responses in gene-for-gene interactions.

Kazan Antagonistic interaction between abscisic acid and jasmonate-ethylene signaling pathways modulates defense gene expression and disease resistance in Arabidopsis Plant Cell 16 2004 3460 3479 ABA is established as a negative regulator of JA/ET-signaling pathways. High ABA concentrations strongly reduces the transcript levels of JA/ET-responsive defense genes, whereas these genes show enhanced expression in ABA-deficient plants. Interestingly, treatment with methyl JA or ethylene could not overcome the inhibitory effect of ABA. AtMYC2, a positive regulator of ABA signaling, is identified as a negative regulator of JA/ET signaling. Consequently, ABA deficiency or mutations in AtMYC2 cause increased resistance towards Fusarium oxysporum.

The expression of Botrytis susceptible1 (BOS1) was induced by B. cinerea via the jasmonic acid pathway and its promoter contained ABA-responsive elements. Functional BOS1 was also required for resistance against Alternaria brassicicola, the reduction of disease symptoms in the biotic interactions with P. syringae pv. tomato and H. parasitica, and for abiotic stress tolerance against drought, salinity and oxidative stress.

Expression of OsMAPK5 was induced by ABA and by various biotic and abiotic stresses. RNA-interference (RNAi)-mediated suppression of OsMAPK5 caused the constitutive expression of defense-related genes and led to enhanced resistance against M. grisea and the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia glumae. By contrast, it caused decreased drought, salt and low-temperature tolerance. Plants that overexpressed OsMAPK5 had the opposite phenotype.

ADR1 overexpression conferred broad-spectrum disease resistance and increased drought tolerance. The plants in which ADR1 was overexpressed were, however, more sensitive than wildtype plants to salinity and thermal stress. ADR1-controlled stress signaling depended on components of both the SA and the ABA signaling pathways.

Mauch-Mani β-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance against necrotrophic pathogens is based on ABA-dependent priming of callose Plant J 38 2004 119 130 This publication demonstrates that BABA-IR against necrotrophic fungi is based on an ABA-dependent defense pathway that controls primed callose accumulation. Mutants that are affected in ABA sensing, ABA production or callose production were defective in BABA-IR, whereas plants that had mutations in the JA, ET or SA pathways showed WT phenotypes. Chemical inhibition of callose deposition reversed BABA-IR, and ABA mutants showed no priming of callose deposition. Treatment of WT plants with ABA mimicked the effects of BABA priming on resistance and callose deposition.

Mauch-Mani Dissecting the β-aminobutyric acid-induced priming pathways in Arabidopsis Plant Cell 17 2005 987 999 In a screen aimed at identifying Arabidopsis mutants that have an impaired capacity to react to BABA treatment, one of the detected mutants (ibs3) turned out to have a T-DNA insertion in the gene coding for the ABA biosynthetic enzyme zeaxanthin epoxidase. ibs3 was compromised in BABA-IR against H. parasitica, was affected in priming for callose deposition, and showed a reduced BABA-induced tolerance to high salinity. This phenotypic reduction in priming for biotic and abiotic stresses correlated with a defect in priming for ABA-inducible gene expression.
