Molecular characterization and expression analysis of the remorin genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

ABSTRACT: Remorin (REMs) are plant-specific and plasma membrane-associated proteins that play an essential role in the growth and development of plants and adaptations to adverse environments. To our knowledge, a genome-scale investigation of the REM genes in tomato has never been systematically studied. In this study, a total of 17 SlREM genes were identified in the tomato genome using bioinformatics methods. Our results demonstrated that the 17 members of SlREM were classified into 6 groups based on phylogenetic analysis and unevenly distributed on the eight chromosomes of tomato. There were 15 REM homologous gene pairs between tomato and Arabidopsis. The SlREM gene structures and motif compositions were similar. Promoter sequence analysis showed that the SlRE
