Gramene: A curated, open-source, integrated data resource for comparative functional genomics in plants
Gramene's purpose is to provide added value to plant genomics data sets available within the public sector, which will facilitate researchers' ability to understand the plant genomes and take advantage of genomic sequence known in one species for identifying and understanding corresponding genes, pathways and phenotypes in other plant species. It represents a broad spectrum of species ranging from unicellular photo-autotrophs, algae, monocots, dicots and other important taxonomic clades. Within Plant Reactome, a database portal of Gramene, there are over 60 plant genomes as well as pathways for more than 80 species.

Maize Genetics and Genomics Database
MaizeGDB is the maize research community's central repository for genetics and genomics information.

Oryzabase
The Oryzabase is a comprehensive rice science database established in 2000 by rice researcher's committee in Japan. The Oryzabase consists of five parts, (1) genetic resource stock information, (2) gene dictionary, (3) chromosome maps, (4) mutant images, and (5) fundamental knowledge of rice science.

Genome Database for Rosaceae
The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR) is a curated and integrated web-based relational database providing centralized access to Rosaceae genomics and genetics data and analysis tools to facilitate cross-species utilization of data.

Manually Curated Database of Rice Proteins
The Manually Curated Database of Rice Proteins (MCDRP) is a manually-curated database based on published experimental data. The database contains data for rice proteins curated from experiments drawn from research articles. The database stores information including gene name, plant type, tissue and developmental stage. The homepage for this resource could not be loaded. Please contact us if you have any information regarding the current status of this resource.

The Triticeae Toolbox
The Triticeae Toolbox (T3) is a repository for public wheat data generated by the Wheat Coordinated Agricultural Project (Wheat CAP). Funding is provided by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The current project is funded through NIFA's International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP) and part of the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI).

Planteome
A resource providing data on bioentities and their associated ontology terms for Plant Biology. The database provides access to ontology-based annotations of genes, phenotypes and germplasms from about 90 plant species. A number of internal and external ontologies are used to annotate the biological data available from this resource.

OBO Foundry
The Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry is a collective of ontology developers that are committed to collaboration and adherence to shared principles. The mission of the OBO Foundry is to develop a family of interoperable ontologies that are both logically well-formed and scientifically accurate. To achieve this, OBO Foundry participants voluntarily adhere to and contribute to the development of an evolving set of principles including open use, collaborative development, non-overlapping and strictly-scoped content, and common syntax and relations, based on ontology models that work well, such as the Gene Ontology (GO). The OBO Foundry is overseen by an Operations Committee with Editorial, Technical and Outreach working groups.

Brassica Information Portal
The Brassica Information Portal is a web repository for population and trait scoring information related to the Brassica breeding community. It provides information about quantitative trait loci and links curated Brassica phenotype experimental data with genotype information stored in external data sources. Advanced data submission capabilities and APIs enable users to store and publish their own study results in BIP. The repository can be easily browsed thanks to a set of user-friendly query interfaces.

Metabolomic Repository Bordeaux
MeRy-B is a plant metabolomics platform allowing the storage and visualisation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolic profiles from plants.

DES-TOMATO
DES-TOMATO is a topic-specific literature exploration system developed to allow the exploration of information related to tomato. The information provided in DES-TOMATO is obtained through the text-mining of available scientific literature, namely full-length articles in PubMed Central and titles and abstracts in PubMed.

Agronomic Linked Data
The Agronomic Linked Data (AgroLD) is a knowledge-based system relying on Semantic Web technologies and exploiting standard domain ontologies, which integrates data about plant species of high interest for the plant science community. AgroLD is an RDF knowledge base of 100M triples created by annotating and integrating more than 50 datasets from 10 data sources and linked using 10 ontologies.

LEAFDATA
The LEAFDATA resource collects information from primary research articles focusing on Arabidopsis leaf growth and development. The result section of selected papers is manually annotated and organized into distinct categories. Text fragments of the manuscripts are displayed with links to the original papers on PubMed.

GWAS Atlas
The GWAS Atlas is a manually curated resource of genome-wide variant-trait associations for a wide range of species.
