In recent years, the genomic sequence of numerous plant species including the main crop species has been determined. Computational tools have been developed to deal with the issue of which plant has been sequenced and where is the sequence hosted. In this mini-review, the databases for genome projects, the databases created to host species/clade projects and the databases developed to perform plant comparative genomics are revised. Because of their importance in modern research, an in-depth analysis of the plant comparative genomics databases has been performed. This comparative analysis is focused in the common and specific computational tools developed to achieve the particular objectives of each database. Besides, emerging high-performance bioinformatics tools specific for plant research are commented. What kind of computational approaches should be implemented in next years to efficiently analyze plant genomes is discussed.
近年来，包括主要作物品种在内的众多植物物种的基因组序列已被测定。已开发出计算工具来处理哪些植物已被测序以及序列存储在何处的问题。在这篇小型综述中，对基因组计划数据库、为承载物种/进化枝项目而创建的数据库以及为进行植物比较基因组学而开发的数据库进行了修订。由于它们在现代研究中的重要性，对植物比较基因组学数据库进行了深入分析。这种比较分析聚焦于为实现每个数据库的特定目标而开发的通用和特定计算工具。此外，还对新兴的植物研究专用高性能生物信息学工具进行了评论。讨论了未来几年应采用何种计算方法来高效分析植物基因组。
