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

To further support plant organelle research and enhance the value of our database, we have been improving the organization and layout of the databases to facilitate the ongoing expansion of information. We are also currently working to develop the next version of this database, which will incorporate time-lapse, 3-dimensional (3D) and electron-microscopic images. These devices will enable us to cover and compile information on organelle movement and more detailed suborganellar structures that will become available with the rapid development of instruments (such as microscopes) and novel techniques. In addition, we are developing a system that allows users to perform image-based data mining to identify organelles when researchers find unidentified organelles, or when the protein localization of interest is unclear. Toward this aim, the submitter is requested to submit high-resolution images and scale information (µm/pixel).
