Identification of SRS transcription factor family in Solanum lycopersicum, and functional characterization of their responses to hormones and abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: The SHI RELATED SEQUENCE (SRS) family plays a vital role in the development of multiple plant organs such as floral meristem determinacy, organ morphogenesis, and signal transduction. Nevertheless, there is little understanding of the biological significance of tomato SRS family at this point. Our research identified eight SlSRS family members and classified them into three subfamilies based on phylogenetics, conserved motifs, and characteristic domain analysis. The intraspecies and interspecies collinearity analysis revealed clues of SRS family evolution. Many cis-elements related to hormones, stresses, and plant development can be found in the promoter region of SlSRS genes. All of eight SlSRS proteins were located in the nucleus and possessed transcriptional activity, half of which were
