Gramene, in collaboration with the Reactome project (www.reactome.org), has developed a new platform for the comparative analysis of plant metabolic and regulatory networks. Initially featuring rice as a reference species, here we will demonstrate the first public version of the Plant Reactome. Future releases will include Arabidopsis and maize pathways. The Plant Reactome will strengthen and extend the current MetaCyc based capabilities in pathway analysis. In addition to browsing and searching pathways, reactions, compounds and gene products, this new database and accompanying web application provides tools for pathway overrepresentation analysis, inter-species comparison and overlaying of expression and gene-gene interaction data.
