Check out this special Science issue on Plant Metabolism
Peruse more than 10 reviews, reports, perspectives, and even a podcast to learn about some of the most recent high impact research on medicinal compounds, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, hormonal modifications, metabolic pathway diversification and evolution, and much more . . .
Current Opinion in Plant Biology asks . . .
Come read about how post-doc Lee Chae is pondering these and an array of other questions with the help of the PMN.
Rev up your plant metabolism excitement by watching or listening to Episode 78 of This Week in Science and Education where the PMN's very own Dr. Sue Rhee describes how plant biochemical pathways are the Engine of Life!
Do you have an inspiring or entertaining plant metabolism-focused podcast to promote?
Please let us know and we'll post it on our website!
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!
We are grateful to our undergraduate interns who have enriched our new and "old" databases with references citing evidence of many compounds found in each species. Check out the bottom of each pathway page to connect to these pertinent publications.
Please take a look at:
Thank you to Damian Priamurskiy and Tam Tran for their efforts!
The PMN is pleased to provide four new species-specific databases as part of the PMN 6.0 release:
And don't miss the new data that we have added in AraCyc 9.0, PoplarCyc 4.0, and PlantCyc 6.0.
** Please make sure to select your organism of interest in the Quick Search box before you start exploring!
Please come hear Dr. Sue Rhee, the PI of the PMN project, as she describes genome-wide molecular networks at the Plant Genome Evolution conference in Amsterdam on Tuesday, September 6.
And to catch a glimpse of the next generation of PMN species-specific databases, please make sure to drop by the poster of post-doc Dr. Lee Chae during the first poster session on Sunday, September 4.
Please come to a database overview and hands-on community curation workshop at the ASPB Meeting co-hosted by the PMN. We want your help to get the lastest information on plant metabolism into our resources.
PMN/TAIR/SGN Workshop
Please e-mail us at curator@plantcyc.org to let us know if you can stay after the workshop to directly submit your latest information on plant compounds, enzymes, or pathways to the PMN.
You can also learn more about all the PMN resources at our poster:
P02029: The Plant Metabolic Network: PlantCyc, AraCyc, and more metabolic pathway databases for plant research
Use the improved Metabolic Overview to easily
against the backdrop of the Arabidopsis or Poplar metabolic map!
Whenever you are viewing a single species database like AraCyc you can access the Metabolic (Cellular) Overview from the Tools menu
More details about this improved resource can be found in a recent publication
Please come search for your favorite pathways in the newest versions of our PMN databases:
With over 40 new pathways and 150 new enzymes, the PMN will help you gain new insights into plant metabolism
