Plant Metabolomics

In the case of Arabidopsis, an NSF-funded multi-institutional project aimed at fully
developing the metabolomics database, 'Plantmetabolomics', has recently been
documented through GARNet. The site contains a tool kit of resources for meta-
bolic data analysis and comparison.

Solanaceae (Tomato/Potato)

Several databases for Solanaceae and other plants are available (also web sites be-
low) at the Plant Research International at Wageningen, Netherlands homepage.
The Metabolome Tomato Database (Moco et al. 2006 ) and potato database CIPO-
TATO were developed here (Mullins et al. 2006 ).

KOMICS

The KOMICS (Kazusa-omics) database collects annotation data of metabolite peaks
detected by LC-FT-ICR-MS, and the web site contains a representative metabolome
data set for the model tomato cultivar, 'Micro-tom' (Iijima et al. 2008 ).

ARMeC Repository Project

The Armec Repository Project provides metabolome data on the potato, and serves
as a data repository for metabolite peaks detected by ESI-MS.

Golm Metabolome Database

The Golm Metabolome Database (GMD) provides public access to custom mass
spectral libraries and metabolite profile data, and contains additional tools and base
information (Kopka et al. 2005 ).
