Abstract:

PlnTFDB is a publicly available computational resource comprising putative complete sets of transcription factors from plants. The original database listed the putative complete sets of TFs from five different green plant (viridiplantae) species. Up to date, summer 2007, PlnTFDB have had more than one hundred thousand hits from more than one thousand different clients, showing the importance that this resource had acquired for the plant community. In this first major update, we extended the coverage of the database to additional completed viridiplantae genomes, i.e., the moss Physcomitrella patens and the rice Oryza sativa spp indica. The scope of PlnTFDB was broadened to encompass other eukaryote photosynthetic organisms, such as the rhodophyte algae Galdieria sulphuraria and Cyanidioschyzon merolae, and the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. This will allow acquiring a better knowledge of plant evolution and on differentiation events. Moreover, the inclusion of large EST collections (i.e., Hordeum vulgare) have further extended the range of this resource to species whose genome are not yet sequenced but that have, nevertheless, highthroughput EST sequencing projects ongoing.
