Two-component systems, versatile signaling mechanisms based on phosphate transfer between component proteins, must have played important roles in adaptation and diversification processes in land plant evolution. We previously demonstrated that two Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS)-histidine kinases, PHK1 and PHK2, repress gametophore formation in the mossPhyscomitrella patensunder aerobic conditions, and that, in eukaryotes, the presence of their homologs is restricted to early-diverging streptophyte linages. We assessed here whether or not PHKs play a role in oxygen signaling. When submerged under water, the double disruption line forPHK1andPHK2formed fewer gametophores than the wild-type line (WT) both under light-dark cycles or continuous light, indicating that PHKs promote gametophore formation under an aquatic environment, in contrast to aerobic conditions. Similarly, in an artificial low-oxygen condition, the double disruption line formed fewer gametophores than WT. These results indicate that PHKs exert dual and opposite effects on gametophore formation depending on oxygen status. This study adds important insight into functional versatility and evolutionary significance of two-component systems in land plants.
