The classical acid growth theory suggests that auxin stimulates cell expansion by triggering apoplast acidification via plasma membrane (PM)-localized H+-ATPase. Here, we reconstructed the origin and evolutionary history of auxin-mediated acid growth. Comparative phylogenomic analysis showed that most core components of acid growth originated in Charophyta and then underwent subclass expansion and functional innovation during plant terrestrialization.
