Editorial Board

The Plant Metabolic Network editorial board is an international assemblage of some of the world-class experts and leaders in varied domains of plant primary and secondary metabolism.

Our board provides overall vision and guidance to the PMN project and plays an active role in ensuring the high quality of the information present in the PMN.

More specifically, editors may review curated pathways for their accuracy and coverage before they are published online, either directly or via solicitation to other experts. They may also identify missing pathways and enzymes and inform curators of literature references to be used for curating new pathways or updating existing pathways.
