text: Growth regulation tailors development in plants to their environment. A prominent
example of this is the response to gravity, in which shoots bend up and roots
bend down1. This paradox is based on opposite effects of the phytohormone auxin,
which promotes cell expansion in shoots while inhibiting it in roots via a yet
unknown cellular mechanism2. Here, by combining microfluidics, live imaging, genetic
engineering and phosphoproteomics in Arabidopsis thaliana, we advance understanding
of how auxin inhibits root growth. We show that auxin activates two distinct,
antagonistically acting signalling pathways that converge on rapid regulation
of apoplastic pH, a causative determinant of growth. Cell surface-based TRANSMEMBRANE
KINASE1 (TMK1) interacts with and mediates phosphorylation and activation of plasma
membrane H+-ATPases for apoplast acidification, while intracellular canonical
auxin signalling promotes net cellular H+ influx, causing apoplast alkalinization.
Simultaneous activation of these two counteracting mechanisms poises roots for
rapid, fine-tuned growth modulation in navigating complex soil environments.
