Abstract

A recent study spotlights B-RAF kinases as central mediators of rapid auxin responses across diverse plant species. Coupled with other current studies, this discovery illuminates the essential role of B-RAF kinases in orchestrating growth, stress responses, and various other biological processes in plants.
