Plant Metabolic Pathway Databases

The PMN currently houses one multi-species reference database called PlantCyc and 76 species/taxon-specific databases.

**Please make sure that your favorite database is selected in the Quick Search bar as you explore the PMN resources

PlantCyc [ More Information ] [ Content Statistics ]

PlantCyc provides access to manually curated or reviewed information about shared and unique metabolic pathways present in over 350 plant species.

PMN Single-species/taxon Databases

The PMN also provides access to manually curated and/or computationally predicted information about enzymes, pathways, and more for individual species.

    External Plant Metabolic Databases

    Several additional species-specific databases, generated by PMN collaborators, are maintained and hosted at external sites. Some of the data from these databases have been incorporated into PlantCyc. Please click on the links below to access those databases directly, and read our Release Notes to learn about the content from external databases included in PlantCyc.
