Sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family members play crucial roles in plant abiotic stress response. However, the precise mechanism underlying the function of SnRKs has not been thoroughly elucidated in plants. In this research, a novel  SnRK2  gene,  TaSnRK2.9  was cloned and characterized from common wheat. The expression of  TaSnRK2.9  was upregulated by polyethylene glycol (PEG), NaCl, H 2 O 2 , abscisic acid (ABA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and ethrel treatments.  TaSnRK2.9  was mainly expressed in wheat young root, stamen, pistil, and lemma. Overexpressing  TaSnRK2.9  in transgenic tobacco enhanced plants’ tolerance to drought and salt stresses both in young seedlings and mature plants with improved survival rate, seed germination rate, and root length. Physiological analyses suggest that TaSnRK2.9 improved antioxidant system such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione (GSH) to reduce the H 2 O 2  content under drought or salt stress. Additionally,  TaSnRK2.9  overexpression plants had elevated ABA content, implying that the function of TaSnRK2.9 may be ABA-dependent. Moreover, TaSnRK2.9 increased the expression of some ROS-related, ABA-related, and stress-response genes under osmotic or salt treatment. TaSnRK2.9 could interact with NtABF2 in yeast two-hybrid assay, and increased the expression of  NtABF2  under mannitol or NaCl treatment in transgenic tobacco plants. In conclusion, overexpression of  TaSnRK2.9  in tobacco conferred plants tolerance to drought and salt stresses through enhanced ROS scavenging ability, ABA-dependent signal transduction, and specific SnRK-ABF interaction.
