Malectin-like domain-containing receptor-like kinases (MRLK) constitute a large and divergent family of proteins in plants; however, little is known about the role of MRLKs in fruit growth and development. In this study, we characterized  MRLK  family genes in diploid strawberry,  Fragaria vesca . Based on an analysis of malectin-like domain and a search in the strawberry genome and NCBI database, we identified 62  FvMRLKs  in the strawberry genome, and classified these genes into six subfamilies with distinct malectin domains in the extracellular regions of the encoded proteins. Gene expression analysis indicated that more than 80% of the  FvMRLKs  were expressed in various tissues, with higher levels in roots than in other organs. Thirty-three  FvMRLKs  were found to be expressed in fruits during the early stages of development, and over 60% of these exhibited dramatic decreases in expression during fruit growth and development. Moreover, the expression of some  FvMRLKs  was sensitive to both environmental and internal cues that play critical roles in regulating strawberry fruit development and ripening. Collectively, this study provides valuable insight into the  FvMRLKs  gene family and its role in regulating strawberry fruit development and ripening.
