Proposed model of auxin, ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA), cytokinin (CK), and ABA cross talk under drought stress. ERF1 (ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR1) modulates expression of potential genes involved in drought tolerance. ABA-responsive component SnRK2, directly phosphorylates type-A RR5 (ARR5), ABA activates several transcription factors (TFs) which could result in enhanced drought tolerance.
