    Abstract:
    Amino acid permeases (AAPs) are involved in transporting a broad spectrum of amino acids and regulating physiological processes in plants. In this study, 19 AAP genes were identified from the tea plants genome database and named CsAAP1-19. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the CsAAP genes were classified into three groups, having significantly different structures and conserved motifs. In addition, an expression analysis revealed that most of CsAAP genes were specifically expressed in different tissues, especially CsAAP19 was expressed only in root. These genes also were significantly expressed in the Baiye 1 and Huangjinya cultivars. Nitrogen treatments indicated that the CsAAPs were obviously expressed in root. CsAAP2, -6, -12, -13 and - 16 were significantly expressed at 6 d after the glutamate treatment, while the expression trend at 24 h after contained the ammonium. These results improve our understanding of the CsAAP genes and their functions in nitrogen utilization in tea plants.
