Genome-wide Identification, Classification, and Expression Analysis of the Receptor-Like Protein Family in Tomato

Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) are involved in plant development and disease resistance.Only some of the RLPs in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) have been functionally characterized though 176 genes encoding RLPs, which have been identified in the tomato genome.To further understand the role of RLPs in tomato, we performed genome-guided classificat
