However, information about the PI gene families in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), one of the most important model plant for crop species, is limited. In this study, in silico analysis identified 55 PI genes and their conserved domains, phylogenetic relationships, and chromosome locations were characterized. According to genetic structure and evolutionary relationships, the PI gene families were divided into seven families. Genome-wide microarray transcription analysis indicated that the expression of SlPI genes can be induced by abiotic (heat, drought, and salt) and biotic (Botrytis cinerea and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)) stresses. In addition, expression analysis using RNA-seq in various tissues and developmental stages revealed that some SlPI genes were highly or preferentially expressed, showing tissue- and developmental stage-specific expression profiles. The expressions of four representative SlPI genes in response to abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (Eth), gibberellic acid (GA). and methyl viologen (MV) were determined. Our findings indicated that PI genes may mediate the response of tomato plants to environmental stresses to balance hormone signals. The data obtained here will improve the understanding of the potential function of PI gene and lay a foundation for tomato breeding and transgenic resistance to stresses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes11010001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,23]],"date-time":"2019-12-23T03:23:12Z","timestamp":1577071392000},"page":"1","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Protease Inhibitor Gene Families in Tomato"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yuxuan","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Horticulture Science for Southern Mountainous Regions, Ministry of Educatio, College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Southwest University, No.2 Tiansheng Road, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"},{"name":"State Cultivation Base of Crop Stress Biology for Southern Mountainous land of Southwest University, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Horticulture Science for Southern Mountainous Regions, Ministry of Educatio, College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Southwest University, No.2 Tiansheng Road, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingxia","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Horticulture Science for Southern Mountainous Regions, Ministry of Educatio, College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Southwest University, No.2 Tiansheng Road, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"},{"name":"State Cultivation Base of Crop Stress Biology for Southern Mountainous land of Southwest University, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunrui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Horticulture Science for Southern Mountainous Regions, Ministry of Educatio, College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Southwest University, No.2 Tiansheng Road, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"},{"name":"State Cultivation Base of Crop Stress Biology for Southern Mountainous land of Southwest University, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2414-0556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinhua","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Horticulture Science for Southern Mountainous Regions, Ministry of Educatio, College of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Southwest University, No.2 Tiansheng Road, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"},{"name":"State Cultivation Base of Crop Stress Biology for Southern Mountainous land of Southwest University, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brix, K., and St\u00f6cker, W.
