Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling plays a crucial role in developmental and environmental adaptation processes of plants. In this study, PYL-PP2C-SnRK2 genes, the core components of the abscisic acid pathway, were identified from banana. Further transcriptomic analyses showed that banana PYL-PP2C-SnRK2 genes are involved in tissue development, fruit development and ripening, and response to abiotic stress in two cultivated varieties. This study provides new insights into the complicated transcriptional control of PYL-PP2C-SnRK2 genes in banana.
