ABSTRACT = {Auxin signaling and its components (Auxin/Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Aux/IAA)) are critical for plant growth and
development. Here, we performed a genome-wide annotation and identified twenty-one Aux/IAA genes in strawberry
(<i>Fragaria vesca</i>). Most <i>FveIAAs</i> were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, while no <i>FveIAAs</i> were found in
chromosomes 3 and 7. Phylogenetic analysis divided these genes into nine subfamilies. Most FveIAAs contained the
DNA-binding and Aux/IAA domains, as well as motifs I–IV. There were 2–6 exons in the <i>FveIAA</i> genes based on the
gene structure analysis. Also, we found that four pairs of <i>FveIAA</i> genes underwent segment duplications. Moreover,
four pairs of orthologous genes were observed between strawberry and <i>Arabidopsis</i>. Cis-element analysis in the
promoter region indicated that <i>FveIAAs</i> may be involved in light, phytohormones, stress responses, and growth
processes. Prediction of protein-protein interaction revealed that 17 of 21 FveIAA proteins were involved in the
auxin-related signaling pathways. Additionally, <i>FveIAAs</i> showed tissue-specific expression and responded to IAA
treatment. Thus, this systematic annotation of the <i>FveIAA</i> family would provide a fundamental basis for further
functional and evolutionary analysis and to understanding the role of <i>FveIAAs</i> in strawberry growth and development.},
