The Sultanate of Oman has a rich biodiversity, particularly in medicinal plants, and plays a crucial role in traditional healthcare practices. However, the wealth of knowledge about these plants is scattered across various literature, making it challenging for researchers, practitioners, and the public to access comprehensive information. Therefore, the availability of a centralized, user-friendly online database to catalog Oman's medicinal plants is of great importance. PlantMedOman presented here, which currently holds 186 records helps to enhance academic research, support drug discovery studies, promote the conservation of medicinal plants, and foster greater awareness of Oman's ethnomedicinal heritage.
阿曼苏丹国拥有丰富的生物多样性，尤其是药用植物，并且在传统医疗实践中发挥着关键作用。然而，关于这些植物的丰富知识分散在各种文献中，这使得研究人员、从业者和公众难以获取全面的信息。因此，提供一个集中式、用户友好的在线数据库来编目阿曼的药用植物至关重要。这里展示的PlantMedOman目前拥有186条记录，有助于加强学术研究、支持药物发现研究、促进药用植物的保护，并提高人们对阿曼民族医药遗产的认识。
