Kurzfassung:
Plant genomes encode many receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that localize to the cell surface and perceive a wide variety of environmental cues to initiate downstream signaling cascades. Whether these RLKs participate in dehydration stress signaling in plants is largely unknown. DROOPY LEAF1 (DPY1), a leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-RLK, was recently shown to regulate plant architecture by orchestrating early brassinosteroid signaling in foxtail millet (Setaria italica). Here, we show that DPY1 is essential for the acclimation of foxtail millet to drought stress. DPY1 can be phosphorylated and activated in response to osmotic stress and is required for more than half of osmotic stress–induced global phosphorylation events, including the phosphorylation of sucrose nonfermenting kinase 2s (SnRK2s), the central kinases involved in osmotic stress. DPY1 acts upstream of STRESS-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE 6 (SAPK6, a subclass I SnRK2) and is required for full SAPK6 activation, thereby allowing regulation of downstream genes to mount a response against drought stress. These signaling events are largely independent of DPY1-mediated brassinosteroid signaling. The DPY1-SAPK6 module is specific to seed plants and is absent in ancestral nonseed plants. Our findings reveal a dehydration stress–activated RLK that plays an indispensable role in osmotic stress signaling and mediates SnRK2 activation at the cell surface.
