Cytokinins(CKs)function in plant development and during stress responses,but their role in drought tol-erance in wheat is unknown.In the present study,24 isopentenyltransferase(IPT)genes,encoding rate-limiting enzymes in CK biosynthesis were identified in the wheat genome.The chromosomal locations and structures of the genes,protein properties,and phylogenetic relationships were characterized.ATP/ADP TaIPT genes showed tissue-specific expression.TaIPT2,TaIPT7,and TaIPT8 expression was rapidly induced by 0.5-1 h drought treatments,which decreased to low levels after 2 h drought treat-ment,as did most other TaIPT genes.TaIPT8-5a/5b/5d triple mutants showed decreased levels of tZ-type CK under normal and drought conditions and reduced drought tolerance,which,however,did not manifest as phenotype alterations.By contrast,transgenic wheat plants with drought-induced TaIPT8 showed increased drought tolerance.Our study provides a foundation for further investigation of TaIPT genes and novel insights into the role of CKs in the drought response of wheat.
