The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing non-biological stress resistance in plants and a composition for accelerating germination. A nucleotide sequence of the present invention is involved in the resistance against the drying stresses in plants, and a transformed plant in which the nucleotide sequence is overexpressed has prominent resistance against various kinds of non-biological stress, including drought stress. In addition, the nucleotide sequence of the present invention is involved in ABA hormone sensitivity in plants, and germination is greatly improved in a plant in which the nucleotide sequence expression is suppressed. Therefore, the composition of the present invention can be useful as new functional crops regardless of the climate of the cultivation area, or as seeds for long-term storage with an increased storage period.
