     Similarly, it has been shown that PYL2 can mediate a sulfonamide ABA agonist referred to as quinabactin, which forms a hydrogen bond with PYL2/PP2C to contribute to interference with stomata opening, reduction of water loss, and improvement of drought tolerance in soybean plants and adult Arabidopsis.
