ABSTRACT
The polyamine uptake transporter (Put), an important polyamines-related protein, is involved in plant cell growth, developmental processes, and abiotic stimuli, but no research on the Put family has been carried out in the tomato. Herein, eight tomato Put were identified and scattered across four chromosomes, which were classified into three primary groups by phylogenetic analysis. Protein domains and gene structural organization also showed a significant degree of similarity, and the Put genes were significantly induced by various hormones and polyamines. Tissue-specific expression analysis indicated that Put genes were expressed in all tissues of the tomato. The majority of Put genes were induced by different abiotic stresses. Furthermore, Put2 transcription was found to be responsive to salt stress, and overexpression of Put2 in yeast conferred salinity tolerance and polyamine uptake. Moreover, overexpression of Put2 in tomatoes promoted salinity tolerance accompanied by a decrease in the Na+/K+ ratio, restricting the generation of reactive oxygen and increasing polyamine metabolism and catabolism, antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, CAT, APX, and POD), and nonenzymatic antioxidant activity (GSH/GSSG and ASA/DHA ratios, GABA, and flavonoid content); loss of function of put2 produced opposite effects. These findings highlight that Put2 plays a pivotal role in mediating polyamine synthesis and catabolism, and the antioxidant capacity in tomatoes, providing a valuable gene for salinity tolerance in plants.
