ABSTRACT
Comparative metabolomics plays a crucial role in investigating gene function, exploring metabolite evolution, and accelerating crop genetic improvement. However, a systematic platform for comparing intra- and cross-species 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 in 530 plant species. PCMD serves as a platform for comparing metabolite characteristics at various levels, including species, metabolites, pathways, and biological taxonomy. The database also provides a series of user-friendly online tools, such as Species-comparison, Metabolites-enrichment, and ID conversion, enabling users to perform comparisons and enrichment analyses of metabolites across different species. In addition, PCMD establishes a unified system based on existing metabolite-related databases by standardizing metabolite numbering. PCMD is the most species-rich comparative plant metabolomics database currently available, and a case study demonstrated its capability to provide new insights into understanding plant metabolic diversity.
