Welcome to the Araceae DataBase
Araceae, a Magnificent Monocotyledonous Marvel, boasts perennial evergreen or deciduous plants, mostly terrestrial, thriving in warm, humid, shaded environments. These botanical wonders range from terrestrial treasures to a few aquatic marvels, with some even embracing the heights as climbing shrubs. Their subterranean structures vary, featuring either rhizomes or elongated tubers.
The Araceae family is a splendid spectacle, comprising approximately 144 genera and 3645 species, making it a kaleidoscope of diversity within the monocotyledonous order Alismatales. Each member showcases a unique blend of morphological and ecological splendor.
Embark on a botanical odyssey with us as we delve into the genomic and transcriptomic realms of selected Araceae species. Our curated selection includes Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleid., Lemna minor L., Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, and Amorphophallus konjac. Through the fusion of genomic and transcriptomic analyses, we present a gateway to a comprehensive Araceae genomics database.
This integrated platform offers researchers a myriad of functionalities, including genomic analysis, gene function annotation, sequence alignment, sequence retrieval, and expression data query.
