AraceaeDB: a functional genomics database of the Araceae family with a focus on konjac glucomannan biosynthesis in <i>Amorphophallus konjac</i> corms.

ABSTRACT: Amorphophallus konjac, as a significant representative of the Araceae family, demonstrates considerable potential for applications in medicine, healthcare, food, industry, and bioenergy due to its rich content of konjac glucomannan (KGM). However, the synthetic pathway of KGM remains largely unclear. Although genomic sequencing has been completed for various representative Araceae plants, including Amorphophallus konjac, a comprehensive data platform for deep analysis and exploration of the functions of these genes is lacking. In the current work, genomic and transcriptomic data from multiple Araceae species were integrated, and a database, AraceaeDB (http://www.araceaedb.com/), was constructed specifically for analyzing and comparing gene functions in Araceae plants. The gen
