Metal tolerance protein (MTP) is a cation transporter that plays an important role in tolerance to heavy metal stress. However, thus far, there has been no genome-wide investigation of the MTP gene family in Quercus plants. Quercus dentata is one of the main constructive species of forest in northern China. It has strong tolerance to a variety of heavy metal stresses. In this study, 25 MTPs were identified from the Q. dentata genome and classified into three subfamilies and seven groups according to their sequence characteristics and phylogenetic relationships. Both tandem and segmental duplication events contributed to the expansion of the QdMTP gene family. Interestingly, all 10 tandem duplication events contributed to the expansion of the Mn-CDF subfamily. The expression of Mn-CDF subfamily members in different organs and tissues of Q. dentata was different, and they responded differently to manganese, iron, zinc and cadmium stress treatments. QdMTP10.7, a member of the Mn-CDF subfamily, enhanced yeast growth under manganese, zinc and iron stresses. The subcellular localization in tobacco leaf epidermis cells showed that QdMTP10.7 was located in vacuoles. These data generated from this study provide an important foundation to elucidate the biological roles of QdMTP genes related to heavy metal tolerance in Q. dentata.
