The central goal of the Plant Metabolic Network (PMN) is to bring together biochemical pathway databases and research communities focused on plant metabolism. PMN, first made public in June 2008, draws upon the work of many individuals with expertise in annotating genomes, generating metabolic pathway databases, curating biochemical information from the literature, and forming extensive network of collaborations with biological databases and biochemistry researchers. Global Vision and Mission As the worldwide demand for production of food, animal feed, biofuels, industrial inputs, and new medicines continues to grow, there is an increasingly urgent need to develop new technologies using plants. The long-term goal of developing these technologies has prompted the sequencing of plant genomes and gene complements. There is a growing need to place the sequenced and annotated genomes in a biochemical context in order to facilitate the discovery of enzymes and engineering of metabolism. PMN will generate an infrastructure for drawing together diverse sources of plant metabolism information.

The Plant Metabolic Network (PMN) is an innovative initiative designed to integrate and enhance the understanding of plant metabolism through comprehensive biochemical pathway databases. Launched in June 2008, PMN serves as a collaborative platform for researchers and institutions focused on plant biochemistry. At its core is the PlantCyc database, housing detailed information on over 1,000 plant metabolic pathways, enzymes, compounds, and genes across more than 300 species, driven by both experimental evidence and expert contributions.
PMN offers a suite of tools and services for researchers, including the PMN BLAST Server for gene analysis, the Metabolic Cluster Viewer, and specialized software for enzyme prediction and pathway validation. It actively seeks community engagement, providing opportunities for researchers to contribute to data curation and development of species-specific databases. With a commitment to advancing metabolic research and education, PMN also serves as a valuable resource for students, offering tutorials, metabolic maps, and comprehensive biochemical reaction diagrams to facilitate learning in the field of plant sciences.
