Plant Biology: Tools and Apps

Despite some outdated design choices, these websites contain useful information. Suggestions for additional resources are always welcome!

• The Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology

  "...Welcome to the Bio-Analytic Resource - the BAR! Below are user-friendly web-based tools for working with functional genomics and other data. Most are designed with the plant (mainly Arabidopsis) reseacher in mind, but a couple of them can be useful to the wider research community, e.g. Mouse eFP Browser or BlastDigester..."

• BSA image gallery

  Botanical Society of American images.

• Distribution maps of plant diseases

  "These maps are the authoritative source for accurate data on the worldwide distribution of plant diseases of economic or quarantine importance. First published in 1942 and created in association with the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO), we have now published over 1000 Disease Maps and they can be browsed, searched and used via this site."

• Distribution Maps of Plant Pests 

  Data maps of arthropod pests in agriculture and forestry.

  The Distribution Maps of Plant Pests covers important arthropod pests affecting agriculture and forestry. Two sets a year of each map are produced, comprising mostly of new maps with a number of map revisions. There are nine pests per map set. Many maps have been revised following changes to taxonomy or distribution, some a number of times. This complete archive of the Plant Pest Maps can be browsed by year of publication or geographic distribution; for more detailed search requirements, a special subset of CAB Abstracts has been prepared to allow for complex searching through the complete collection.

• Illustrated glossary of plant pathology

  Glossary published by the American Phytopathological Society.

I haven't found any academic or practiced based Plant Biology/Botany apps for Apple or Android devices. Suggestions are always welcome, and check out the Horticulture or Plant Pathology guides.
