About Plant Transcription Factor Database

PlantTFDB is a plant transcription factor database hosted by the Center for Bioinformatics, Peking University. It supports browsing by species and transcription factor family, searching, and downloading plant transcription factor information. The homepage also links to BLAST, a prediction server, extended TF repertoires, and PlantRegMap resources. Quick species links include Arabidopsis thaliana, Glycine max, Oryza sativa, Populus trichocarpa, Solanum lycopersicum, and Zea mays. If a species is not listed, the site directs users to extended TF repertoires or its prediction server.
