The amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) gene family plays an important role in the long-distance amino acid transport pathway and takes part in various stages of plant growth and development. However, little is known about the AAAP gene family in Medicago truncatula. Here, we identified 86 putative MtAAAP family members using genome sequence information. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these MtAAAP genes were categorized into eight distinct subfamilies. The MtAAAP genes were mapped on 8 chromosomes and duplication events appeared widely, with 19 and 21 pairs of MtAAAP genes showing segment and tandem duplication events, respectively. Ratio of Ka/Ks indicated that duplicated genes underwent purifying selection. Analysis of RNA-seq data showed that MtAAAP genes exhibited specific expression patterns among different tissues and abiotic stress, indicating that MtAAAP members were involved in plant developmental regulation and stress responses. Expression patterns of 16 MtAAAP genes under abiotic stress were verified by qRT-PCR. The present study provides a foundation for the functional analysis of MtAAAPs in developmental regulation and stress responses.
