Query: Genome-wide identification and analyses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) high-affinity nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) family genes and their responses to drought and salinity High-affinity nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) proteins have vital roles in nitrate (NO3-) uptake and translocation in plants. The gene families coding NRT2 proteins have been identified and functionally characterized in many plant species. However, no systematic identification of NRT2 family members have been reported in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). There is also little known about their expression profiles under environmental stresses. Accordingly, the present study aimed to identify NRT2 gene family in the tomato genome; then, investigate them in detail through bioinformatics, physiological and expression analyses. As a result, four novel NRT2 genes were identified in the tomato genome, all of which contain the same domain belonging to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (PF07690). The co-expression network of SlNRT genes revealed that they were co-expressed with several other genes in many different molecular pathways including transport, photosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism and amino acid catabolism. Programming many crucial physiological and metabolic pathways, various numbers of phosphorylation sites were predicted in the NRT2 proteins.
