• A total of 11 slc9 genes were identified in the chromosome-level genome of L. waleckii. • The expression of certain slc9 genes is significantly different between freshwater and alkali water populations. • Molecular differences were found in slc9 gene coding proteins between two populations. • Conserved sequences of slc9 genes in alkali population indicates strict naturel selection. The solute carrier family 9 ( slc9) genes, especially slc9a isoform coding proteins contribute to electroneutral countertransport of H + for Na + across the plasmalemmal and organellar membranes, intracellular pH and cellular volume regulation as well as the electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid volume homeostasis at the systemic level. These functional properties determine a potential basis for organisms to challenge stressful conditions. However, these well-done researches have been reported more in mammals. Thus, in this study, a total of eleven slc9 genes were identified from the latest version genome of L. waleckii , a cyprinid fish that could tolerate extremely alkaline environments (pH 9.6). The evolutionary footprint of slc9 genes was uncovered via the analysis of copy numbers, gene structure, motif composition, chromosome location and phylogenetic relationship. More importantly, there were two SNPs located on 5’ UTR and three non-synonymous mutations in the coding region of the slc9a3.2 gene by comparing freshwater with alkaline water populations attached to resequencing technology. Slc9a3.2 gene was a statistically significant low expression in gill tissue with extremely alkaline pressure. Generally, slc9 gene family in L. waleckii was highly conserved. Several important SNPs with high Fst values were identified where non-synonymous mutations occurred between freshwater and alkaline water populations, and they may play an important role in specific functional differentiation. Slc9 genes had clear tissue expression preferences and were involved in abiotic stress response, indicating their roles in physiological function and strong self-regulating capacity. Our insight into the genetic variations that take place in the individual genes under extreme conditions could provide a feasible example for studying specific molecular mechanisms based on genomic data with increasing environmental stress.
