Indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) is a predominant form of active auxin in plants. In addition tode novobiosynthesis and release from its conjugate forms, IAA can be converted from its precursor indole‐3‐butyric acid (IBA).The IBA‐derived IAA may help drive root hair elongation inArabidopsis thalianaseedlings, but how the IBA‐to‐IAA conversion is regulated and affects IAA function requires further investigation.In this study, HOMEOBOX PROTEIN 24 (HB24), a transcription factor in the zinc finger‐homeodomain family (ZF‐HD family) of proteins, was identified. With loss ofHB24function, defective growth occurred in root hairs.INDOLE‐3‐BUTYRIC ACID RESPONSE 1(IBR1), which encodes an enzyme involved in the IBA‐to‐IAA conversion, was identified as a direct target of HB24 for the control of root hair elongation. The exogenous IAA or auxin analogue 1‐naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) both rescued the root hair growth phenotype ofhb24mutants, but IBA did not, suggesting a role forHB24in the IBA‐to‐IAA conversion.Therefore,HB24participates in root hair elongation by upregulating the expression ofIBR1and subsequently promoting the IBA‐to‐IAA conversion. Moreover, IAA also elevated the expression ofHB24, suggesting a feedback loop is involved in IBA‐to‐IAA conversion‐mediated root hair elongation.
