Plant Comparative Metabolome Database (PCMD)

Plant Comparative Metabolome Database (PCMD) provides a multilevel comparison database of intra- and cross-species metabolic profiling in 530 plant species, offering tools for species comparison, metabolite enrichment, and ID conversion.

Key Features:

• Species Comparison: Compares metabolite characteristics across different plant species.
• Metabolite Enrichment: Enables enrichment analyses of metabolites across different species.
• ID Conversion: Standardizes metabolite numbering across existing metabolite-related databases.
• Multilevel Comparison: Supports comparison at species, metabolites, pathways, and biological taxonomy levels.

Scientific Applications:

• Gene Function Investigation: Supports investigation of gene function through comparative metabolomics.
• Metabolite Evolution Exploration: Facilitates exploration of metabolite evolution across plant species.
• Crop Genetic Improvement: Accelerates crop genetic improvement through comparative metabolic profiling.
• Plant Metabolic Diversity Analysis: Provides insights into plant metabolic diversity through cross-species comparison.

Methodology:

The database is based on predicted metabolic profiles of 530 plant species.
