SRO (SIMILAR TO RCD ONE) is a family of plant-specific small molecule proteins that play an important role in plant growth and development and environmental responses. However, SROs still lack systematic characterization in tomato. Based on bioinformatics methods,  SRO  family genes were identified and characterized from cultivated tomatoes and several wild tomatoes. qRT-PCR was used to study the expression of  SRO  gene in cultivated tomatoes. Phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses showed that  SRO  genes in angiosperms share a common ancestor and that the number of  SRO  family members changed as plants diverged and evolved. Cultivated tomato had six  SRO  members, five of which still shared some degree of identity with the ancestral  SRO  genes. Genetic structure and physicochemical properties showed that tomato  SRO  genes were highly conserved with chromosomal distribution. They could be divided into three groups based on exon-intron structure, and cultivated tomato contained only two of these subclades. A number of hormonal, light and abiotic stress-responsive  cis -regulatory elements were identified from the promoter of the tomato  SRO  gene, and they also interacted with a variety of stress-responsive proteins and microRNAs. RNA-seq analysis showed that  SRO  genes were widely expressed in different tissues and developmental stages of tomato, with significant tissue-specific features. Expression analysis also showed that  SRO  genes respond significantly to high temperature and salt stress and mediate the tomato hormone regulatory network. These results provide a theoretical basis for further investigation of the functional expression of tomato  SRO  genes and provide potential genetic resources for tomato resistance breeding.
