Auxin regulates gene expression through direct physical interaction with TIR1/AFB receptor proteins during different processes of growth and development in plants. Here we report the contribution of auxin signaling pathway to the adaptative response against abiotic stress in Arabidopsis. Phenotypic characterization of tir1/afb auxin receptor mutants indicates a differential participation of each member under abiotic stress. In particular, tir1 afb2 and tir1 afb3 mutants resulted more tolerant to oxidative stress. In addition, tir1 afb2 showed increased tolerance against salinity measured as chlorophyll content, germination rate and root elongation compared with wild-type plants. Furthermore, tir1 afb2 displayed a reduced accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, as well as enhanced antioxidant enzymes activities under stress. A higher level of ascorbic acid was detected in tir1 afb2 compared with wild-type plants. Thus, adaptation to salinity in Arabidopsis may be mediated in part by an auxin/redox interaction.

Sinomonas species typically reside in soils or the rhizosphere and can promote plant growth. Sinomonas enrichment in rhizospheric soils is positively correlated with increases in plant biomass. However, the growth promotion mechanisms regulated by Sinomonas remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Gallic acid, a natural compound found in plants, has significant uses in medicine, food, and industry, but its effects on plant growth remain unclear.
- This study shows that while low concentrations of gallic acid can promote primary root growth in Arabidopsis, high concentrations have the opposite effect, significantly reducing root length and size by inhibiting cell division.
- The research indicates that high levels of gallic acid lower auxin levels in root tips, and that adding auxin can partially reverse the negative effects on root growth, highlighting the importance of auxin transport and signaling in this process.

The development of multicellular tissues requires both local and global coordination of cell polarization, however, the mechanisms underlying their interplay are poorly understood. In Arabidopsis, leaf epidermal pavement cells (PC) develop a puzzle-piece shape locally coordinated through apoplastic auxin signaling. Here we show auxin also globally coordinates interdigitation by activating the TIR1/AFB-dependent nuclear signaling pathway.

The phytohormone auxin plays a pivotal role in governing plant growth and development. Although the TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE1/AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX (TIR1/AFB) receptors function in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, the mechanism governing the distribution of TIR1/AFBs between these cellular compartments remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that auxin-mediated oxidation of TIR1/AFB2 is essential for their targeting to the nucleus.

The root system plays an essential role in plant growth and adaptation to the surrounding environment. The root clock periodically specifies lateral root prebranch sites (PBS), where a group of pericycle founder cells (FC) is primed to become lateral root founder cells and eventually give rise to lateral root primordia or lateral roots (LRs). This clock-driven organ formation process is tightly controlled by modulation of auxin content and signaling.
