This analysis provides evidence that AGB1 inhibits auxin-promoted lateral root formation.

The authors also showed that GCR1 regulates ABA signaling and may act as a negative regulator of GPA1-mediated ABA responses in guard cells.

Biochemical experiments showed that the β subunit interacts tightly with the two γ subunits and forms dimers that can associate with the α subunit in planta.

The authors also characterized two atpirin1 T-DNA insertional mutants and established that they display a set of phenotypes similar to those of gpa1 mutants, indicating that AtPirin1 may function downstream of GPA1 in regulating seed germination and early seedling development.
