We are super excited to announce the release of PMN 16! PMN 16 introduces twenty-eight new single-species databases, listed below, as well as new versions of the existing 127 single-species databases and to PlantCyc, bringing our total to 155. Selection of new species was focused on understudied plants and plant groups, including non-angiosperm plant such as hornworts and gymnosperms, as well as plants listed by the African Orphan Crop Consortium such as teff, moringa, and bambara groundnut. All databases were (re)generated using our new internal pipeline, making use of Pathway Tools 28.0, the new E2P2 version 5, and updated SAVI validation lists (SAVI 3.2). The first new enzyme data from our collaboration with the labs of Hiroshi Maeda (UW-Madison) and Philipp Zerbe (UC Davis) are also incorporated into this release, with more to come!
