Far-red impaired response 1 (FAR1) gene family play a crucial role in controlling growth and developmental stages of the plants. Using bioinformatics tools, FAR1 gene family has been studied in many plant species except for P. vulgaris (common bean) so far. In this study, genome-wide identification and characterization of FAR1 gene family have been performed in common bean. In silico analyzes of gene structures, chromosomal positions, protein properties, phylogenetic relationships, cis-elements and many other characteristics of FAR1 members have been performed. Followingly, 26 FAR1 genes have been identified and they were found to be categorized into three groups according to the phylogenetic analysis. The data of synonymous (Ks) and non-synonymous (Ka) substitution rates, phylogenetic relationships, and synteny analysis of the FAR1 gene family has provided important insights into the polyploidization, evolution, and domestication of FAR1 genes between P. vulgaris and some other plant species including A. thaliana, and G. max. Transriptome analysis revealed tissue-specific expression pattern of FAR1 genes in P. vulgaris. Also, some of the FAR1 genes were found to either upor down-regulated in response to salt and drought stress conditions in the leaves of P. vulgaris suggesting the potential role of this family in plant defence responses. To sum up, the results obtained from this study might be useful for other researchers to understand molecular mechanisms underlying evolution and role of FAR1 genes in P. vulgaris
