Abstract: Drought stress seriously affects crop yield and quality and constrains global agricultural production. E3 ubiquitin ligases are a large family with wide variety and are involved in many important biological processes in plants. In this paper, we summarize the drought stress regulation mechanism, plant ubiquitin ligase E3, and describe the ubiquitin ligase E3 response to plant drought stress and its mechanisms.
