The March 2012 release includes four NEWLY created databases for cassava, corn, grape, and soybean and also includes updates to the AraCyc, PoplarCyc, and PlantCyc databases.

PlantCyc now houses over 27000 proteins. And thanks to the addition of over 80 new pathways contributed by PMN and MetaCyc curators, PlantCyc now connects researchers to almost 900 metabolic pathways.

All of the PMN databases can now be explored using the updated 15.5 version of the Pathway Tools software.

We hope that these enhanced resources will be useful to researchers, educators, and students who want to learn more about plant metabolism!
