Recent research has demonstrated that the biosynthesis of natural products in medicinal plants involves a complex regulatory system that integrates genes, transcription factors, and environmental factors. D Alkaloid data interface for plants (Gene, Pathway, Compound and Transcription factor) In the MetaDb, there are three main types of synthesis and regulation data for natural products from medicinal plants: phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids. The third step was to classify and organize the data that was compiled and manually manage it based on characteristics such as gene type, transcription factor family classification, and compound category. The enzyme-encoding gene data included Gene, Type, Plant, Family, Medicinal Plant, Natural Product, Description, GenBank, NCBI Link, and References.
