PlantFAdb Key Features
Phylogenetic Trees
The initial Tree page http://plantfadb.org/tree presents the number of FA composition datapoints that are associated with ALL publications in PlantFAdb. Click on a node to move to Family, Genus and species.
The occurrence of a fatty acid structure in different plant species is displayed on a phylogenetic tree. The abundance (e.g. wt %) is indicated on the axis.
Example: Ricinoleic: http://plantfadb.org/tree?measure_id=10274
Compiled analytical data Example: Sesamum indicum: http://plantfadb.org/plants/10019
Fatty acid compositions and other acyl lipid parameters for each plant species have been compiled from multiple publications on a single page in graphical form.
