Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the Aux/IAA Gene Family in Strawberry Species.

ABSTRACT: Auxin is the first plant hormone found to play a dominant role in fruit growth, from fruit set to fruit ripening. Strawberry plants represent a suitable model for studying auxin's biosynthesis, sensing, and signaling machinery. Aux/IAA genes are a classical rapid auxin-responsive family. However, the Aux/IAA gene family in Fragaria genus is poorly understood. In this study, a total of 287 Aux/IAA genes were identified in the eight strawberry genomes. Their physicochemical properties, domain structure, and cis-regulatory elements revealed the functional multiplicity of the strawberry Aux/IAAs. We used a phylogenetic analysis to classify these genes into 12 classes. In addition, based on synteny analysis, gene duplications, and c
