Design and Implementation

- The plant organelles database (PODB): a collection of visualized plant organelles and protocols for plant organelle research

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION 

The database was designed and implemented using the PHP server-side scripting language (version 4.4.4) and the Web-based Java applet on a Mac OS X server running FileMaker Server 8 Advanced (Tokyo, Japan). The database consists of a number of functionality codes written in JavaScript that interact with the tables in FileMaker Server 8 Advanced that house the data. All buttons and text areas outside of the applet were created using the PHP and XML languages.

Each datum in the results tables is hyperlinked to a flat file that displays further information and provides links to related resources, such as NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).
