Integrated ABA and ethylene signalling network in guard cells. (Colour) Interactions between the components of the network are shown by the lines that join them. Positive interactions such as activation or production are represented with lines that end in an arrowhead →. Negative interactions such as inactivation, repression, or scavenging are represented by lines that end in a hammerhead ⊣. Yellow nodes are hormones, green nodes; proteins, blue nodes; ions, red nodes; reactive molecules, and orange nodes; physical properties of the cells. The interactions shown in this network (explained in the main text) are obtained from several previously published reports; however, this is the first time that the ABA and ethylene pathways appear together.
