The National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences Genebank Project database (NIASGBdb) consists of a genetic resource database and a plant diseases database, linked by a web retrieval database. The genetic resources database has plant and microorganism search systems to provide information on research materials, including passport and evaluation data for genetic resources with the desired properties. A database of plant diseases in Japan has been developed based on the listing of common names of plant diseases compiled by the Phytopathological Society of Japan. Relevant plant and microorganism genetic resources are associated with the plant disease names.
PRGdb is a database provides a comprehensive overview of resistance genes (R-genes) in plants. PRGdb holds more than 16,000 known and putative R-genes belonging to 192 plant species challenged by 115 different pathogens and linked with useful biological information. Data can be examined using different query tools. A prediction pipeline called Disease Resistance Analysis and Gene Orthology (DRAGO), based on reference R-gene sequence data, was developed to search for plant resistance genes in public datasets such as Unigene and Genbank. The inferred cross-link between genomic and phenotypic information allows access to a large body of information.
Plant Transcription Factor Database (PlantTFDB) is database that attempts to identify a comprehensive set of plant genes coding for transcription factors. A web interface to the database allows users to browse by species, search using a sequence identifier, or query using BLAST.
The Plant Transcription Factor Database (PlnTFDB) is an integrative database that provides putatively complete sets of transcription factors (TFs) and other transcriptional regulators (TRs) in plant species whose genomes have been completely sequenced and annotated. For each gene family, a basic description is provided that is complemented by literature references, and multiple sequence alignments of protein domains. TF or TR gene entries include information of expressed sequence tags, 3D protein structures of homologous proteins, domain architecture and cross-links to other computational resources online. Moreover, the different species in PlnTFDB are linked to each other by means of orthologous genes facilitating cross-species comparisons.
