Plant leucine-rich repeats receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) play key roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stresses. However, the functions of LRR-RLKs in bryophytes are still not well documented. Here, a putative LRR-RLK gene, PnLRR-RLK, was cloned and characterized from the Antarctic moss Pohlia nutans. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PnLRR-RLK protein was clustered with the Arabidopsis thaliana LRR XI family proteins. Subcellular localization analysis of PnLRR-RLK revealed that it was mainly localized on plasma membrane. The expression of PnLRR-RLK was induced by mock high salinity, cold, drought, and exogenously supplied abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Meanwhile, the overexpression of PnLRR-RLK showed an increased tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis to salt and ABA stresses than that of the wild type (WT) plants. Furthermore, the expression levels of several salt tolerance genes (AtHKT1, AtSOS3, AtP5CS1, and AtADH1) and an ABA negatively regulating gene AtABI1 were significantly increased in transgenic plants. Meanwhile, the expression levels of ABA biosynthesis genes (AtNCED3, AtABA1, and AtAAO3) and ABA early response genes (AtMYB2, AtRD22, AtRD29A, and AtDREB2A) were decreased in transgenic Arabidopsis after salt stress treatment. Therefore, these results suggested that PnLRR-RLK might involve in regulating salt stress-related and ABA-dependent signaling pathway, thereby contribute to the salinity tolerance of the Antarctic moss P. nutans.
