Abstract: ABA, an important phytohormone induced by biotic stress and abiotic stress, plays great roles in plant tolerance to stresses. In this review, we summarize the regulation of ABA biosynthesis and metabolism by plant stresses, the roles of ABA in regulating stomatal closure and gene expression, and the crosstalk between plant stress signaling.
