► ERD15 belongs to a conserved protein family ubiquitous but specific to plant kingdom. ► It has a role in both abiotic and biotic stress responses. ► ERD15 participates in regulating stomatal aperture. ► PAM2 motif suggests a role in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Plants are con...
