The Water Lily Pond (WLP, https://bioinformatics.hainanu.edu.cn/waterlily) aims to store and analyze big data related to water lilies, because of their significant values in evolutionary biology and economic potential. Water lilies are not only key plants in ecosystems but also possess economic importance. This database offers data analysis and visualization services, providing a solid foundation for comparative genomics and botanical research, and facilitating deeper exploration of the genetic traits of water lilies and their role in biodiversity conservation. WLP will be continuously updated to the best of our abilities.
