Interested in Plant Metabolic Engineering? There are two great chances to delve into this topic in July 2011! (July 23-24) (July 24-29) Please let us know if you have a conference related to plant metabolism that you’d like us to post . . .
1/1/2011 There are many ways to connect with a PMN curator at the Plant and Animal Genome XIX Conference in San Diego, California. You can attend a computer demo featuring speakers from three groups who provide plant metabolic pathway databases, read our poster, or get one-on-one help at the Plant Genome DB Outreach Consortium booth …
10/1/2010 Are you looking for an enzyme in Arabidopsis or poplar that is similar to your favorite protein? Please check out the two new datasets that are available for BLAST analyses: AraCyc Enzymes PoplarCyc Enzymes Our original Reference Enzymes and PlantCyc Enzymes datasets are also still available for sequence similarity-based searching.
6/1/2010 New viewer for a global metabolic map Do you want to highlight a compound or reaction on a global metabolic map for a single species? Would you like to overlay your transcript expression, proteomic, or metabolomic data onto a zoomable set of pathways? Please come check out the new metabolic (cellular) overview using AraCyc…
6/1/2010 Do you want a better understanding of how new PMN databases get predicted from genome sequences? Would you like to read about potential ways to put the PMN to work in your research project? Please come check out our recent article in Plant Physiology for this information and much more . . .
6/1/2010 Please come search for your favorite pathway using the newest version of the Pathway Tools software in the newest versions of our PMN databases: An introduction to the updated databases was presented at the second Banff Conference on Plant Metabolism and a PMN workshop was conducted at the Plant Biology 2010 ASPB and CSPP…
4/1/2010 The PMN is eager to work with scientists who want to do metabolic-pathway-based analyses. PlantMetabolomics.org is a data repository for a series of metabolomic experiments performed in Arabidopsis thaliana. You can read about efforts to incorporate their experimentally identified compounds into AraCyc in Bais et al. 2010.
10/1/2009 The Plant Metabolic Network is pleased to announce new releases of the metabolic pathway databases AraCyc 6.0 and PlantCyc 3.0, plus the inaugural release of PoplarCyc 1.0 This PMN release includes many updates to AraCyc enzyme/reaction assignments based on a new PMN enzyme annotation pipeline, plus, 34 additional pathways have been added to AraCyc…
7/1/2009 Please come watch an amazing and enormous Amorphophallus titanum flower bloom . . . and be thankful that you can’t smell it. You can use the PMN to get more information about the stinky metabolites (putrescine and cadaverine) that “Trudy” the “corpse flower” produces to attract insects as she flowers in the University of…
