ROP2-RIC1 pathway fine-tunes microtubule dynamics in response to salt stress in Arabidopsis.ROP2 participates in salt tolerance through suppressing RIC1.
Title: A ROP2-RIC1 pathway fine-tunes microtubule reorganization for salt tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Here, the authors report that the small GTPase ROP2, if activated by the phytohormone auxin, promotes activation of TOR, and thus translation reinitiation of uORF-containing mRNAs.
Title: GTPase ROP2 binds and promotes activation of target of rapamycin, TOR, in response to auxin.

Results suggest that during the late petal development stages, SPIKE1 (SPK1), encoding a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and Rho of Plants (ROP) GTPase proteins (ROP2, ROP4, and ROP6)-dependent signaling module influences anisotropic growth in the petal and defines the final organ shape.
Title: SPIKE1 Activates ROP GTPase to Modulate Petal Growth and Shape.

ROP2 and RIC7 suppress excess stomatal opening by inhibiting Exo70B1.
Title: The ROP2-RIC7 pathway negatively regulates light-induced stomatal opening by inhibiting exocyst subunit Exo70B1 in Arabidopsis.

ABA inactivates ROP2 GTPase in guard cells. Active ROP2 suppresses the endocytotic internalization of plasma membrane, a process required for stomatal closure.
Title: Active ROP2 GTPase inhibits ABA- and CO2-induced stomatal closure.
