Website and coding updates:

The Plant Reactome web site front-end has been redesigned and re-implemented on the Joomla Content Management System. Hosted interaction data is now accompanied by a confidence score (where available), which enables a threshold filter to be applied in the Pathway Browser when viewing the interactor overlay. The latest Plant Reactome pathway data has been re-indexed and made available via Gramene search.

Analytical Tools:

Currently, Plant Reactome supports researchers with the following analytical tools:

  • - Search for gene/protein, metabolites, pathways
    - Upload and analyze gene-expression data on plant pathways
    - Upload and analyze gene-gene interaction data on plant pathways
    - Compare reference rice pathways with pathways from any of 78 projected species currently hosted by Plant Reactome.

Curation of reference rice pathways: 

In Gramene Release 59, we have added 14 newly curated pathways and 2 "container" pathways, and updated 2 other existing pathways, resulting in a total of 280 reference rice pathways.

    New Pathways:

- Tricin biosynthesis
- Lycopene catabolism
- Oryzalyde A biosynthesis
- Abscisic acid homeostasis
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis
- Generation of superoxide radicals
- Removal of superoxide radicals
- Valine degradation
- Cysteine degradation
- Recognition of fungal and bacterial pathogens and immunity response
- Reproductive meristem phase change
- Flower development
- Floral bract development
- Seed development

    Example of recently curated rice pathway:

Sample curated pathway r59

   Updated/renamed pathways:

  •          - Secondary metabolism
             - Hormone signaling, transport, and metabolism

Pathway Projection Statistics:  

We have extended orthology-based pathway projections for 4 new species:Daucus carota(carrot),Vigna radiata (mung bean), Vigna angularis (adzuki bean) and Triticum dicoccoides (Emmer wheat). Plant Reactome now hosts pathway projections for 78 species ranging from unicellular autotrophs to higher plants. In addition, we have revised pathways forTriticum aestivum (bread wheat), based on its recent genome update (IWGSC RefSeq v1.0).

NOTEThe pathway counts for both reference and projected species include a few organizational “container” names, such as “Hormone biosyntheses” and “Metabolism”. Additionally, the bulk of the projected pathways occur in the areas of metabolic and regulatory function, whereas the rice reference data set has additional pathways related to cell cycle functions. We are not currently using these additional pathways as a source for orthology projection.

The Plant Reactome increasingly includes curated regulatory and developmental pathways, which require more reference DNA and RNA sequence elements, in addition to the traditional protein-coding elements. These sequence elements are not included in Reactome orthoinference at this time, although we are actively working to enhance the projection process to include these elements on projected pathways in future releases.
