F-box genes play an important role in plant growth and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. To date, systematic analysis of F-box genes and functional annotation in eggplant (Solanum melongena) is still limited. Here, we identified 389 F-box candidate genes in eggplant. The domain study of F-box candidate genes showed that the F-box domain is conserved, whereas the C-terminal domain is diverse. There are 376 SmFBX candidate genes distributed on 12 chromosomes. A collinearity analysis within the eggplant genome suggested that tandem duplication is the dominant form of F-box gene replication in eggplant. The collinearity analysis between eggplant and the three other species (Arabidopsis thaliana, rice and tomato) provides insight into the evolutionary characteristics of F-box candidate genes. In addition, we analyzed the expression of SmFBX candidate genes in different tissues under high temperature and bacterial wilt stress. The results identified several F-box candidate genes that potentially participate in eggplant heat tolerance and bacterial wilt resistance. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid assay showed that several representative F-box candidate proteins interacted with representative Skp1 proteins. Overexpression of SmFBX131 and SmFBX230 in tobacco increased resistance to bacterial wilt. Overall, these results provide critical insights into the functional analysis of the F-box gene superfamily in eggplant and provide potentially valuable targets for heat and bacterial resistance.
