Abstract

The BES1 genes is a class of transcript factor in the brassinosteriod signal pathway associated with multiple biological processes of plants, such as stress response. To investigate the potential functions of BES1 transcription factors in strawberry. We identified the 42 BES1 genes from three strawberry species by bioinformatics method. The BES1 protein can be further categorized into 3 distinct groups, based on the protein sequences encoded by BES1 genes. An expression profile analysis based on RNA-seq data illustrated that the BES1 genes are involved in stress tolerance of cultivated strawberry. A qPCR analysis reveals the gene expression change under low temperature stress. This study provides an overview of BES1 gene families in strawberry which will facilitate the further understanding of BES1 function in strawberry plants.
