## Description

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.
