Role of plant sterols in response to abiotic stress. Under abiotic stress, the structure of the membrane is destroyed, which affects the permeability of the membrane and the activity of the membrane-bound protein, causing the loss of H+. Transcription factors are regulated by corresponding hormone signals to regulate the expression of structural genes of sterol biosynthesis to affect the content of “stress” sterols and ultimately maintain membrane stability.
