Once again, the Plant Metabolic Network is growing and this time it's expanding beyond flowering plants with four new databases:

• ChlamyCyc
• MossCyc
• SelaginellaCyc
• PapayaCyc

Come see how our new databases can help you explore metabolism in a broader comparative context. 

• Want to learn about the newest PMN data?
• Eager for a demo on data analysis using the Omics viewer?
• Interested in annotating your favorite enzyme?

Then meet with a PMN curator one-on-one at the Outreach Booth (215) during the ASPB Plant Biology 2012 conference.

Additional PMN learning opportunities:

• Plant Informatics Workshop:

Saturday - 7:30 PM - [Presentation]

• PMN poster (19014):

Sunday - 6:30 PM - [Poster]

Current Opinion in Plant Biology asks . . .

• How do the evolutionary forces that act on phenotypes affect the molecular networks that underly plant growth and development?
• How can researchers elucidate the functions of multi-genic modules?

Come read about how post-doc Lee Chae is pondering these and an array of other questions with the help of the PMN. 

• Deciphering the function of an unknown protein?
• Searching for a related enzyme in a plant species?
• Want access to a trusted set of enzymes?

Then come BLAST against our new enzyme datasets for corn, soybean, cassava, and wine grape.

Plus, check out our updated BLAST sets for Arabidopsis, poplar, and PlantCyc and new set of Reference Enzymes (2.0).

All PMN BLAST datasets can also be downloaded for local use!
