Summary    Abscisic acid (ABA) receptors are considered as the targeted manipulation of ABA sensitivity and water productivity in plants. Regulation of their stability or activity will directly affect ABA signalling. Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades link multiple environmental and plant developmental cues. However, the molecular mechanism of ABA signalling and MAPK cascade interaction remains largely elusive.   TaMPK3  overexpression decreases drought tolerance and wheat sensitivity to ABA, significantly weakening ABA's inhibitory effects on growth. Under drought stress, overexpression lines show lower survival rates, shoot fresh weight and proline content, but higher malondialdehyde levels at seedling stage, as well as decreased grain width and 1000 grain weight in both glasshouse and field conditions at the adult stage.  TaMPK3 ‐RNAi increases drought tolerance.  TaMPK3 interaction with TaPYL4 leads to decreased TaPYL4 levels by promoting its ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, whereas ABA treatment diminishes TaMPK3–TaPYL interactions. In addition, the expression of ABA signalling proteins is impaired in  TaMPK3 ‐overexpressing wheat plants under ABA treatment. The MPK3‐PYL interaction module was found to be conserved across monocots and dicots.  Our results suggest that the MPK3‐PYL module could serve as a negative regulatory mechanism for balancing appropriate drought stress response with normal plant growth signalling in wheat.
