摘要： The abscisic acid (ABA) signalling pathway plays a crucial role in plants' response to drought stress. In this study, we aimed to characterize the impact of an ABA signalling module, which consisted of TaPYL9 and its downstream partners in Triticum aestivum, on plant drought adaptation. Our results showed that TaPYL9 protein contains conserved motifs and targets plasma membrane and nucleus after being sorted by the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, TaPYL9 transcripts in both roots and leaves were significantly upregulated in response to drought stress. We conducted glucuronidase (GUS) histochemical staining analysis for transgenic plants carrying a truncated TaPYL9 promoter, which suggested that cis-elements associate with ABA and drought response, such as ABRE, DRE and recognition sites MYB and MYC, regulating the gene transcription under drought conditions. Using protein interaction assays (i.e., yeast two-hybrid, bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC), co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and in vitro pull-down), we demonstrated interactions between the intermediate segment of TaPYL9, the intermediate segment of TaPP2C6, the N-terminus of TaSnRK2.8 and the C-terminus of the transcription factor TabZIP1 in wheat, indicating the involvement of TaPYL9 in the constitution of an ABA signalling module, namely TaPYL9/TaPP2C6/TaSnRK2.8/TabZIP1. Transgene analysis revealed that TaPYL9, TaSnRK2.8 and TabZIP1 positively regulated drought response, while TaPP2C6 negatively regulated it, and that these genes were closely associated with the regulation of stomata movement, osmolyte accumulation and ROS homeostasis. Electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) and transcriptioal activation assays indicated that TabZIP1 interacted promoters of TaP5CS2, TaSLAC1-1 and TaCAT2 and activated transcription of these genes, which regulated proline biosynthesis, stomata movement and ROS scavenging upon drought signalling, respectively. Furthermore, we found that the transcripts of TaPYL9 and stress-responsive genes were positively correlated with yields in wheat cultivars under field drought conditions. Altogether, our findings suggest that the TaPYL9-involved signalling pathway significantly regulates drought response by modulating osmotic stress-associated physiological processes in T. aestivum.
