Pathway databases provide information about the role of chemicals, genes, and gene products in the form of protein or RNA, their interactions leading to the formulation of metabolic, transport, regulatory, and signaling reactions. The reactions can then be tethered by the principle of inputs and outputs of one or more reaction to create pathways. This chapter provides a list of various online databases that carry information about plant pathways and provides a brief overview of how to use the pathway databases such as WikiPathways Plants Portal, MapMan and the cereal crop pathway databases like RiceCyc and MaizeCyc, that were developed using the Pathway Tools software.
通路数据库以蛋白质或RNA的形式提供有关化学物质、基因和基因产物的作用信息，以及它们之间的相互作用，这些相互作用导致代谢、运输、调节和信号反应的形成。然后，可以根据一个或多个反应的输入和输出原理将这些反应联系起来，以创建通路。本章列出了各种携带植物通路信息的在线数据库，并简要概述了如何使用通路数据库，如WikiPathways植物门户、MapMan以及使用Pathway Tools软件开发的谷物作物通路数据库，如水稻通路数据库（RiceCyc）和玉米通路数据库（MaizeCyc）。
