description <i>F-box/LR</i> (<i>FBXL</i>), Leucine-rich repeats in F-box proteins, belongs to the Skp1-Cullin1-F-box protein (SCF) E3 ligase family. <i>FBXL</i> genes play important roles in plant growth, such as plant hormones, responses to environmental stress, and floral organ development. Here, a total of 518 <i>FBXL</i> genes were identified and analyzed in six plant species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that <i>AtFBXL</i>s, <i>VvFBXL</i>s, and <i>GrFBXL</i>s were clustered into three subfamilies (Ⅰ-Ⅲ). Based on the composition of the F-box domain and carboxyl-terminal amino acid sequence, FBXL proteins were classified into three types (Type-A/-B/-C). Whole-genome duplication (WGD) along with tandem duplications and segmental contributed to the expansion of this gene family. The result indicates that four cotton species are also divided into three subfamilies. <i>FBXL</i>s in cotton were classified into three clades by phylogenetic and structural analyses. Furthermore, expression analyses indicated that the expression patterns of <i>GhFBXL</i>s in different cotton tissues were different. The highly expressed of <i>GH_A07G2363</i> in 5–8 mm anthers, indicates that this gene might play a role in the reproductive process, providing candidate genes for future studies on cotton fertility materials. This study provides an original functional opinion and a useful interpretation of the FBXL protein family in cotton.
