the isopentenyltransferase reaction is the key rate-limiting step in cytokinin biosynthesis that transfers the isopentenyl group from dimethylallyl diphosphate to the N6-amino group of adenine
adenylate-type isopentenyl transferases might have evolved several times independently, phylogenetic analysis. Key enzymes for cytokinin synthesis and degradation (adenylate IPT and CKX) are found only in few species of cyanobacteria

cytokinins are important adenine-base phytohormones which promote cell division and their biosynthesis has two pathways depending on different substrates. The first pathway begins with the transfer of isopentenyl group from dimethylallyl diphosphate to the N6-amino group of AMP, ADP or ATP by adenylate isopentenyltransferase, AIPT
IPT catalyzes the rate-limiting step for the addition of dimethylallyl diphosphate to the N6 of 5-AMP to form isopentenyl AMP, which is the precursor of isoprenoid cytokinins
the biosynthesis of cytokinins starts with a transfer of dimethylallyl chain from dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) or (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) to N6-amino group of free or tRNA-bound adenosine phosphates. The reactions are catalyzed by related but distinct enzymes, adenylate dimethylallyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.27) and tRNA dimethylallyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.75), respectively, more frequently termed as isopentenyl transferases

transgenic expression of BoAIPT1 in bamboo plants increases the green bamboo shoot growth, with the top green shoot section having the highest expression level
transgenic IPT overexpressing line 529-28 shows significant drought tolerance, significantly delayed leaf senescence syndrome compared to wild-type plants, and accumulation of a high level of trans-zeatin-type cytokinins particularly of corresponding storage O-glucosides to maintain cytokinin homeostasis.
