Root hair (RH) growth to increase the absorptive root surface area is a key adaptation of plants to limiting phosphate availability in soils. Despite the importance of this trait, especially for seedling survival, little is known about the molecular events connecting phosphate starvation sensing and RH growth regulation. KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2), an α/β-hydrolase receptor of a yet-unknown plant hormone ("KAI2-ligand" [KL]), is required for RH elongation.1KAI2 interacts with the F-box protein MORE AXILLIARY BRANCHING2 (MAX2) to target regulatory proteins of the SUPPRESSOR of MAX2 1 (SMAX1) family for degradation.2Here, we demonstrate that Pistarvation increases KL signaling inArabidopsisroots through transcriptional activation ofKAI2andMAX2. Both genes are required for RH elongation under these conditions, whilesmax1 smxl2mutants have constitutively long RHs, even at high Piavailability. Attenuated RH elongation inkai2mutants is explained by reduced shootward auxin transport from the root tip resulting in reduced auxin signaling in the RH zone, caused by an inability to increase localized accumulation of the auxin importer AUXIN TRANSPORTER PROTEIN1 (AUX1) and the auxin exporter PIN-FORMED2 (PIN2) upon Pistarvation. Consistent with AUX1 and PIN2 accumulation being mediated via ethylene signaling,3expression of1-AMINOCYCLOPROPANE-1-CARBOXYLATE SYNTHASE 7(ACS7) is increased at low Piin aKAI2-dependent manner, and treatment with an ethylene precursor restores RH elongation ofacs7, but not ofaux1andpin2. Thus, KAI2 signaling is increased by phosphate starvation to trigger an ethylene- AUX1/PIN2-auxin cascade required for RH elongation.
