Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling is a vital physiological step that is used by many land plants to fight against environmental stress. As components of the linear ABA signaling pathway, Glade A protein phosphatases type 2C (PP2C-As) are mainly inhibited by PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORS (PYLs)-type receptors upon their binding to ABA. Here, we show that the genome of Brassica rapa encodes 14 putative Glade A PP2C-like proteins (BrPP2C-As). Two of these BrPP2C-As, Bra025964 and Bra016595, show high similarity to the HAB2 (Homology to ABI2) protein in Arabidopsis. RNAseq data reveal that nearly all BrPP2C-As, like BrHAB2a (Bra025964) and BrHAB2b (Bra016595), were highly expressed in at least one tissue. Overexpression of BrHAB2a conferred ABA insensitivity to Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Furthermore, the phosphatase activity of BrHAB2a could be inhibited by AtPYL1 or BrPYL1 in the presence of ABA. Overall, these results suggest that BrHAB2a is a functional PP2C-A like protein phosphotase and a key component of ABA signaling in Brassica rapa. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
