A variety of plant genes are induced by drought and cold stress, and they are thought to be involved in the stress tolerance of the plant. At least five signal transduction pathways control these genes: two are dependent on abscisic acid (ABA), and the others are ABA-independent. A novel cis-acting element involved in one of the ABA-independent signal transduction pathways has been identified. In addition, a number of genes for protein kinases and transcription factors thought to be involved in the stress signal transduction cascades have been shown to be induced by environmental stresses.
多种植物基因受干旱和寒冷胁迫诱导，并且它们被认为参与植物的胁迫耐受性。至少有五条信号转导途径控制这些基因：两条依赖脱落酸（ABA），其他的则不依赖ABA。一个参与不依赖ABA信号转导途径之一的新型顺式作用元件已被鉴定出来。此外，许多被认为参与胁迫信号转导级联反应的蛋白激酶和转录因子基因已被证明受环境胁迫诱导。
