PCMD: A multilevel comparison database of intra- and cross-species metabolic profiling in 530 plant species.

ABSTRACT: Comparative metabolomics plays a crucial role in investigating gene function, exploring metabolite evolution, and accelerating crop genetic improvement. However, a systematic platform for intra- and cross-species comparison of metabolites is currently lacking. Here, we report the Plant Comparative Metabolome Database (PCMD; http://yanglab.hzau.edu.cn/PCMD), a multilevel comparison database based on predicted metabolic profiles of 530 plant species. The PCMD serves as a platform for comparing metabolite characteristics at various levels, including species, metabolites, pathways, and biological taxonomy. The database also provides a number of user-friendly online tools, such as species comparison, metabolite enrichment, and ID conversion, enabling users to perform comparisons and enrichment
