During the course of terrestrial evolution, plants have developed complex networks that involve the coordination of phytohormone signalling pathways in order to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Transcription factors coordinate these responses by engaging in different protein complexes and exerting both positive and negative effects. ABA INSENSITIVE 5 (ABI5) binding proteins (AFPs), which are closely related to NOVEL INTERACTOR OF JAZ (NINJA)-like proteins, are known for their fundamental role in plants’ morphological and physiological growth. Recent studies have shown that AFPs regulate several hormone-signalling pathways, including abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA). Here, we review the genetic control of AFPs and their crosstalk with plant hormone signalling, and discuss the contributions of AFPs to plants’ growth and development.

在陆地进化过程中，植物形成了复杂的网络，涉及植物激素信号通路的协调，以适应不断变化的环境。转录因子通过参与不同的蛋白质复合物并发挥积极和消极的作用来协调这些反应。 ABA 不敏感 5 (ABI5) 结合蛋白 (AFP) 与新型 JAZ 相互作用蛋白 (NINJA) 样蛋白密切相关，因其在植物形态和生理生长中的基本作用而闻名。最近的研究表明，AFP 调节多种激素信号传导途径，包括脱落酸 (ABA) 和赤霉酸 (GA)。在这里，我们回顾了 AFP 的遗传控制及其与植物激素信号的串扰，并讨论了 AFP 对植物生长和发育的贡献。
