Please let us know if you have a conference related to plant metabolism that you'd like us to post . . .
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

We look forward to seeing you there!
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:
Our original Reference Enzymes and PlantCyc Enzymes datasets are also still available for sequence similarity-based searching.
Please come check out our recent article in Plant Physiology for this information and much more . . .
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 conference.
New viewer for a global metabolic map
Please come check out the new metabolic (cellular) overview using AraCyc or PoplarCyc.
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 Arabidopis thaliana
You can read about efforts to incorporate their experimentally identified compounds into AraCyc in Bais et al 2010
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 6.0.
PoplarCyc 1.0 was created by applying the PMN enzyme annotation pipeline to the Populus trichocarpa 1.1 genome release sequences provided by JGI, and then using the Pathologic software from SRI International. The new computationally predicted database was then validated by PMN curators. 321 pathways and 3434 predicted poplar enzymes are now available in PoplarCyc 1.0. The data have also been incorporated into PlantCyc 3.0. In addition, 75 new pathways have been added to the new version of PlantCyc.
The PMN also now provides a BLAST tool and two customized enzyme sets for PMN users.
