To survive fluctuating water availability on land, terrestrial plants must be able to sense water stresses, such as drought and flooding. The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and plant-specific SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) play key roles in plant osmostress responses. We recently reported that, in the mossPhyscomitrium patens, ABA and osmostress-dependent SnRK2 activation requires phosphorylation by an upstream RAF-like kinase (ARK). This RAF/SnRK2 module is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of osmostress signaling in land plants. Surprisingly, ARK is also an ortholog ofArabidopsisCONSTITUTIVE RESPONSE 1 (CTR1), which negatively regulates the ethylene-mediated submergence response ofP. patens, indicating a nexus for cross-talk between the two signaling pathways that regulate responses to water availability. However, the mechanism through which the ARK/SnRK2 module is activated in response to water stress remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that a group of ethylene-receptor-related sensor histidine kinases (ETR-HKs) is essential for ABA and osmostress responses inP. patens. The intracellular kinase domain of an ETR-HK fromP. patensphysically interacts with ARK at the endoplasmic reticulumin planta. Moreover,HKdisruptants lack ABA-dependent autophosphorylation of the critical serine residue in the activation loop of ARK, leading to loss of SnRK2 activation in response to ABA and osmostress. Collectively with the notion that ETR-HKs participate in submergence responses, our present data suggest that the HK/ARK module functions as an integration unit for environmental water availability to elicit optimized water stress responses in the mossP. patens.
