Abstract
Cytokinin response regulators (RRs) are important components of the two component signal systems, which are involved in the regulation of plant growth and development, and in the response to abiotic stress. In this study, 18 cytokinin RR genes were identified in Fragaria vesca through the genome-wide search. They were further classified into three types: type-A (FvRR1–7), type-B (FvRR8–14) and type-C (FvRR15–18) according to the domain architecture and the phylogeny. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that most cytokinin response regulators of F. vesca and Arabidopsis formed clear orthologous pairs. Expression patterns of the cytokinin FvRR genes in various tissues and organs at reproductive stages were detected in this study. Additionally, gene expression response patterns to ABA and abiotic stresses including high temperature and osmotic stress were investigated. The results showed that different types of cytokinin FvRRs have different expression patterns, suggesting the functional differentiation of cytokinin FvRRs during the evolution. This systematic study provides insights into possible functions of the cytokinin FvRR genes and a basis for further functional analysis.
