Multiple cellular events like dynamic actin reorganization and hydrogen peroxide ( H 2 O 2 ) production were demonstrated to be involved in abscisic acid ( ABA )‐induced stomatal closure. However, the relationship between them as well as the underlying mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here, we showed that H 2 O 2 generation is indispensable for ABA induction of actin reorganization in guard cells of Arabidopsis that requires the presence of ARP 2/3 complex. H 2 O 2 ‐induced stomatal closure was delayed in the mutants of arpc4 and arpc5 , and the rate of actin reorganization was slowed down in arpc4 and arpc5 in response to H 2 O 2 , suggesting that ARP 2/3‐mediated actin nucleation is required for H 2 O 2 ‐induced actin cytoskeleton remodelling. Furthermore, the expression of H 2 O 2 biosynthetic related gene AtrbohD and the accumulation of H 2 O 2 was delayed in response to ABA in arpc4 and arpc5 , demonstrating that misregulated actin dynamics affects H 2 O 2 production upon ABA treatment. These results support a possible causal relation between the production of H 2 O 2 and actin dynamics in ABA ‐mediated guard cell signalling: ABA triggers H 2 O 2 generation that causes the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton partially mediated by ARP 2/3 complex, and ARP 2/3 complex‐mediated actin dynamics may feedback regulate H 2 O 2 production.
