BACKGROUND: Large quantities of digital images are now generated for biological collections, including those developed in projects premised on the high-throughput screening of genome-phenome experiments. These images often carry annotations on taxonomy and observable features, such as anatomical structures and phenotype variations often recorded in response to the environmental factors...
We have developed VitisCyc, a grapevine-specific metabolic pathway database that allows
researchers to (i) search and browse the database for its various components such as
metabolic pathways, reactions, compounds, genes and proteins, (ii) compare grapevine
metabolic networks with other publicly available plant metabolic networks, and (iii)
upload, visualize and analyze...
Plastids are actively involved in numerous plant processes critical to growth, development and adaptation. They play a
primary role in photosynthesis, pigment and monoterpene synthesis, gravity sensing, starch and fatty acid synthesis, as well
as oil, and protein storage. We applied two complementary methods to analyze the recently published apple...
Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have
made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase
genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest...

Salvia hispanica, also known as Chia, is an annual plant of the mint family, Lamiaceae. Chia is a vascular plant with perennating buds initially formed at or within the soil surface. Chia grows to roughly one meter tall at maturity, with leaves growing in opposite arrangement, small purple flowers,...
Background
Triticum monococcum (2n) is a close ancestor of T. urartu, the A-genome progenitor of cultivated hexaploid wheat, and is therefore a useful model for the study of components regulating photomorphogenesis in diploid wheat. In order to develop genetic and genomic resources for such a study, we constructed genome-wide transcriptomes...

Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is a curated
online resource for comparative functional
genomics in crops and model plant species, currently
hosting 27 fully and 10 partially sequenced
reference genomes in its build number 38. Its
strength derives from the application of a phylogenetic
framework for genome comparison and the
use of ontologies...
