Introduction of Woody Plant Multi-Omics Database (WP-MOD)

Woody plants, typically encompassing trees, shrubs, or lianas, are generally perennial in nature. The presence of wood as a structural tissue facilitates the annual growth of woody plants from above-ground stems, resulting in some of them becoming the largest and tallest terrestrial plants. Here, we curate the Woody Plant MultiOmics Database (WP-MOD), a digital haven meticulously crafted to unlock the genetic secrets of woody plants. At the latest version of WP-MOD, it includes the multi-omics information of 286 woody plants with whole-genome references, transcriptomes, methylome, small RNA transcriptomes, degradome, epigenome, etc. The mission of WP-MOD is to collect and provide as much data and related information of woody plants as possible to foster a deeper understanding of their resilience, adaptability, and ecological significance.
