Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAPKKKs) are pivotal components of Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, which play a significant role in many biological processes. Although genome-wide analysis of MAPKKKs has been conducted in many species, extant results in apple are scarce. In this study, a total of 72 putative MdMAPKKKs in Raf-like group, 11 in ZIK-like group and 37 in MEEK were identified in apple firstly. Predicted MdMAPKKKs were located in 17 chromosomes with diverse densities, and there was a high-level of conservation in and among the evolutionary groups. Encouragingly, transcripts of 12 selected MdMAPKKKs were expressed in at least one of the tested tissues, indicating that MdMAPKKKs might participate in various physiological and developmental processes in apple. Moreover, they were found to respond to drought stress in roots and leaves, which suggested a possible conserved response to drought stress in different species. Overexpression of MdRaf5 resulted in a hyposensitivity to drought stress, which was at least partially due to the regulation of stomatal closure and transpiration rates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome-wide functional analysis of the MdMAPKKK genes in apple, and it provides valuable information for understanding MdMAPKKKs signals and their putative functions.
