Abstract

Extracytosolic plant proteins are involved in numerous processes including nutrient acquisition, communication with other soil organisms, protection from pathogens, and resistant to disease and toxic metals. We have developed an on-line database to provide the plant biology community with relevant information about extracytosolic plant proteins. Data for Brassica napus (canola) proteins identified using proteomics tools can be accessed using this database. Several textual and graphical query capabilities allow biologists to populate and query this database. Results are displayed with active links to other databases. The system has an open API allowing other applications to access this database as a Web service. In addition, the database is augmented with a repository of tools that can be used in data analysis and mining tasks.
