Slow and rapid auxin responses in Arabidopsis

The TIR1/AFB–Aux/IAA–ARF canonical auxin signaling pathway is widely accepted to (de)active transcriptional regulation, thus controlling auxin-associated developmental processes. However, the theme of a rapid auxin response has emerged since the 2018 Auxins and Cytokinin in Plant Development conference. To date, a few signaling components have been identified to mediate both slow and rapid auxin responses, which unveils the complexity of auxin signaling.
