Index of Botanical Publications --- Harvard University

"For the purpose of verifying publication names in the Specimen Database and the Gray Index, the Herbaria maintain an index of botanical publications. It is a unique compendium of bibliographic references for both books and journals, dependent primarily on the standard print sources for botanical literature."

Fungal Databases

This databse povides access to several fungus related databases. They are:

Specimens in the U.S. National Fungus Collections

"The world's largest collection of fungal specimens."

Fungus-Host Distributions

"includes reports of fungi on vascular plants and plant products according to their distribution by state (for the U.S.)"

Literature

"more than 33,000 references on the systematics of plant pathogenic fungi isavailable"

Nomenclature

"information on the accepted names, synonyms and alternate states for approximately 40,000 fungal names"

International Mycological Institute's Index of Fungi

International Mycological Institute's Index of Fungi by genus or species.

Index to Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum

"for all the fungal names included in Saccardo's 26-volume work"

FDA Poinsonous Plant Database

"This database contains references to the scientific literature describing studies of the toxic properties and effects of plants and plant parts. Records are displayed in List Format as the following example indicates"

International Plant Name Index

is a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and fern allies. Its goal is to eliminate the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names.

Plant Ontology (PO)

"Is a project on development of structured common set of plant anatomy and growth stage vocabularies for use in Genomics data sets, gene and phenotype annotations. The project also provides standard protocols and the database for ontology based annotations."

Gramene database

"It is a comparative plant genomics platform and a Systems Biology database. This is the first such database that allows researchers to carryout in-silico investigation using either or both the forward and reverse genetics approaches to find the genes, proteins, phenotypes, function, expression, gene-gene interaction, metabolic pathways and polymorphic markers in the region of interest. It also allows researchers to make comparisons across genetic maps, genomes and gene orthologs."
