Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Catharanthus roseus Receptor-like Kinase 1-like Proteins in Eggplant

As an important member of the plant receptor-like kinases, Catharanthus roseus kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L) plays vital roles in growth and development, as well biotic abiotic stress response. Numerous CrRLK1Ls have been identified analyzed various species, while our knowledge about eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is still scarce. Utilizing state-of-the-art genomic data, we conducted first genome-wide identification analysis CrRLK1L proteins eggplant. In this study, 32 were A subsequent gene structure protein domain showed that possessed typical features CrRLK1Ls. subcellular localization prediction demonstrated these mostly localized on plasma membrane. collinearity some genes had predicted intraspecies or interspecies evolutionary duplication events. Promoter suggests may be involved hormone signaling, host–pathogen interactions, environmental responses. Based transcriptomic expression analysis, it indicated resistance response to Botrytis cinerea. Together, results will give us a theoretical foundation guidance for elaborating biological functions growth,
