PRGdb 4.0: an updated database dedicated to genes involved in plant disease resistance process.

ABSTRACT: The Plant Resistance Genes database (PRGdb; http://prgdb.org/prgdb4/) has been greatly expanded, keeping pace with the increasing amount of available knowledge and data (sequenced proteomes, cloned genes, public analysis data, etc.). The easy-to-use style of the database website has been maintained, while an updated prediction tool, more data and a new section have been added. This new section will contain plant resistance transcriptomic experiments, providing additional easy-to-access experimental information. DRAGO3, the tool for automatic annotation and prediction of plant resistance genes behind PRGdb, has been improved in both accuracy and sensitivity, leading to more reliable predictions. PRGdb offers 199 reference resistance genes and 586.652 putative resistance genes from 182 sequenced proteomes. Compared to the previous release, PRGdb 4.0 has increased the number of reference resistance genes from 153 to 199, the number of putative resistance genes from 177K from 76 proteomes to 586K from 182 sequenced proteomes. A new section has been created that collects plant-pathogen transcriptomic data for five species of agricultural interest. Thereby, with these improvements and data expansions, PRGdb 4.0 aims to serve as a reference to the plant scientific community and breeders worldwide, helping to further study plant resistance mechanisms that contribute to fighting pathogens.

Project description:BackgroundMale reproduction is an essential biological event in the plant life cycle separating the diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte generations, which involves expression of approximately 20,000 genes. The control of male reproduction is also of economic importance for plant breeding and hybrid seed production. With the advent of forward and reverse genetics and genomic technologies, a large number of male reproduction-related genes have been identified. Thus it is extremely challenging for individual researchers to systematically collect, and continually update, all the available information on genes and mutants related to plant male reproduction. The aim of this study is to manually curate such gene and mutant information and provide a web-accessible resource to facilitate the effective study of plant male reproduction.DescriptionPlant Male Reproduction Database (PMRD) is a comprehensive resource for browsing and retrieving knowledge on genes and mutants related to plant male reproduction. It is based upon literature and biological databases and includes 506 male sterile genes and 484 mutants with defects of male reproduction from a variety of plant species. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) annotations and literature, information relating to a further 3697 male reproduction related genes were systematically collected and included, and using in text curation, gene expression and phenotypic information were captured from the literature. PMRD provides a web interface which allows users to easily access the curated annotations and genomic information, including full names, symbols, locations, sequences, expression patterns, functions of genes, mutant phenotypes, male sterile categories, and corresponding publications. PMRD also provides mini tools to search and browse expression patterns of genes in microarray datasets, run BLAST searches, convert gene ID and generate gene networks. In addition, a Mediawiki engine and a forum have been integrated within the database, allowing users to share their knowledge, make comments and discuss topics.ConclusionPMRD provides an integrated link between genetic studies and the rapidly growing genomic information. As such this database provides a global view of plant male reproduction and thus aids advances in this important area.
