Resources

We have been involved in the development of the following resources over the years.

Current Projects

Center for Sustainable Plant Innovation and Resilience Through International Teamwork
C-SPIRIT is a National Science Foundation-funded Global Center that unites researchers from the United States, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom to address agricultural challenges and develop sustainable farming solutions through natural product discovery.

Water and Life Interface Institute
WALII investigates how life survives without water, studying anhydrobiosis from molecular to evolutionary levels to uncover how organisms endure desiccation and rehydration. Through collaborative, interdisciplinary research and training, WALII builds a scientific community around anhydrobiosis and makes its discoveries accessible to the public.

Genome Function Annotation Viewer
Graphical tool to visualize and download genome annotation data for 27 species of plant model organisms and crop species

Harnessing water to optimize crops​
Project aimed at developing novel technologies and methodologies to redesign the Sorghum for optimal WUE

Integrated Pennycress Resilience Project
Using natural and induced variation in pennycress to improve abiotic stress tolerance and oilseed bioenergy crop resilience

NeuroPlant
Cross-disciplinary project aims to build a pipeline to explore natural products from plants as potential treatments for neurological diseases and as tools for unraveling the chemistry of the brain

Plant Cell Atlas
Community resource that comprehensively describes the state of various plant cell types and integrates high-resolution location information of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites within plant cells

The PCA has its own resources page with tools and repositories for working with plant data

Plant Metabolic Cluster Viewer (New URL as of 11/11/24)
Web service for searching, browsing and downloading metabolic gene clusters from multiple plant species

Plant Metabolic Network
Genome-scale databases of metabolic enzymes, compounds, and pathways in plants

Sorghum Metabolic Atlas
Sub-cellular localization of enzymes in Sorghum
