Improving the poor resistance to environmental stress and the weak development of roots system in the cherry ( Prunus ) rootstock ‘Gisela 6’ ( Prunus cerasus  ×  Prunus canescens ) is of great importance for sustainable sweet cherry ( Prunus avium ) production. Although a stable genetic transformation system has been developed for ‘Gisela 6’ rootstock, there is little information on the identification of genes involved in stress resistance. Using the cherry rootstock cultivar Gisela 6, we identified a total of 12 novel mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) genes, designated  PcMPKs . Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the  PcMPKs  could be divided into four groups, designated A, B, C, and D. In addition, an intron–exon structure analysis for the  PcMPKs  was conducted to help further understand the structure–function relationships within the cherry family. The expression profiles of  PcMPKs  in response to abiotic and biotic stresses were characterized using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Five  PcMPKs  (i.e.,  PcMPK4-1 ,  PcMPK4-2 ,  PcMPK3 ,  PcMPK6 , and  PcMPK18 ) exhibited differential expression, and suggested their potential roles in plant responding to various stresses. This study provides the basis for further analysis on the physiological functions of  PcMPKs  in environmental tolerance in cherry rootstocks.
