SnRK2 protein kinases are key components of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and osmotic stress responses in plants. The review synthesizes findings from numerous studies on how different SnRK2 genes regulate Arabidopsis growth, development, and stress tolerance at various life stages. Key topics covered include SnRK2 functions under environmental stresses like drought, salinity, cold, and nutrient deficiency; SnRK2 roles in seed germination and early seedling growth; and applications of SnRK2 genes in developing transgenic Arabidopsis with enhanced stress tolerance. The review highlights the complex regulatory networks involving SnRK2 kinases and their interactions with other signaling components like PP2C phosphatases and AREB/ABF transcription factors. Overall, this comprehensive analysis provides insights into the multifaceted roles of SnRK2 genes in modulating plant growth and stress adaptation, with potential applications for improving crop resilience. Further research directions are suggested to elucidate remaining questions about SnRK2 functions and regulatory mechanisms in plants.
