SUMMARYThe plant signaling molecule auxin controls growth and development through a simple nuclear pathway that regulates gene expresion. There are however several cellular and physiological responses to auxin that occur within seconds, far too rapid to be mediated by transcriptional changes, for which no molecular mechanism has yet been identified. Using a phosphoproteomic strategy inArabidopsis thalianaroots, we identify an ultra-rapid auxin response system that targets over 1700 proteins, many within 30 seconds. Auxin response is chemically specific, requires known auxin-binding proteins, and targets various pathways. Through exploring its temporal dynamics, we infer auxin-triggered kinase-substrate networks and identify apoplastic pH changes as a target of signaling and as part of a relay mechanism. By generating a variety of phosphoproteomic datasets, integrated with structural information in a web-app, and by demonstrating analysis and inference strategies, we offer a resource to explore rapid and dynamic signaling in plants.
