Plants dynamically balance growth with stress responses through abscisic acid (ABA). How ABA signaling, but how ABA sensitivity is finely tuned is unclear. Here, we uncover a regulatory network of leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) that directly controls ABA receptors stability. We identify GASSHO1 (GSO1) as a core component that phosphorylates the PYL2 and PYL4 receptors, targeting them for degradation and thus serving as a brake on ABA signaling. Under drought stress, ABA accumulates and suppresses expression of GSO1-activating CIF peptides, releasing this brake to increase PYLs and sensitivity. This mechanism opposes our previously identified CEPR2 pathway, where drought-induced CEP peptides inhibit the kinase to stabilize PYLs. The integration of these two antagonistic modules within an LRR-RLK network enables precise, dynamic control of ABA perception. This work reveals a molecular framework explaining how plants calibrate the critical balance between growth and drought acclimation.
