The goal of hortDB is to become the premier platform for researchers, offering omics data and tools, as well as providing breeders with breeding data and tools. We provide a series of online bioinformatics tools and aim at addressing key challenges across the entire horticulture industry chain. Moving forward, we are committed to continuously updating this database. As the only comprehensive database dedicated to horticultural plants, we have curated five major groups of species, encompassing fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, beverages & spices, as well as medicinal plants.
