constitutively active (CA)-MPK3 crosses with summ1 and summ2, two known suppressors of mpk4, resulted in a partial reversion of the CA-MPK3 phenotypes.

Data show that the protein kinases MPK3 and MPK6 can both interact with SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE (SPL) in vitro and in vivo and can phosphorylate the SPL protein in vitro.

Study propose that the pathogen-responsive MPK3/MPK6 cascade and ABA are two essential signaling pathways that control, respectively, the organic acid metabolism and ion channels, two main branches of osmotic regulation in guard cells that function interdependently to control stomatal opening/closure.
