Database of plant names, symbols, species abstracts, images, crop information and more.

Alphabetical list of dietary supplements and herbal remedies. Includes info on effectiveness, dosage, and drug interactions.

Information on herbal medicine, phytotherapy, and more from the "Federal Government’s lead agency for scientific research" on alternative medicine.

Plant databases and checklists maintained by the Bishop Museum, including taxonomic names, native and naturalized Hawaiian vascular plants and algae, a kalo identification guide, and a Hawaiian ethnobotany database.

This joint project of the Smithsonian Institute and the National Tropical Botanical Garden provides information on Hawaiian vascular plants taken primarily from The Manual of the Flowering Plants of Hawai`i by Wagner, Herbst, and Sohmer (1999) and Hawai`i's Ferns and Fern Allies by Palmer (2003). A supplement tracks differences between the Manual and the website’s databases.

HTBG plant images, searchable by family, genus, species, common name, or country/region of origin.

Bishop Museum database of plants in Hawaii. Includes images.

Collection of native plant species images created by botany professor Dr. Gerald Carr.

Personal collection of 100,000+ images for 2,500 species by biologists Forest & Kim Starr.

Information from the UH College of Tropical Agriculture on propagation techniques of many indigenous and endemic plants. Search or browse by scientific or common names.

A resource for selecting native or non-invasive introduced species. Also includes information on pests,

Extensive collections of data from the full spectrum of molecular biology, including literature, genes & genomes, expression, proteins, molecular & cell structures, chemical biology, and more.

This gene database focuses on genomes that have been completely sequenced and have an active research community to contribute gene-specific data. For each gene record has information on nomenclature, chromosomal localization, gene products and their attributes(e.g., protein interactions), associated markers, phenotypes, interactions and links to citations, sequences, variation details, maps, expression reports, homologs, protein domain content, and external databases.

Sequence and map data from genomes of more than a thousand species or strains, including bacteria, eukaryota, archaea, viruses, phages, viroids, plasmids, and organelles.

This database hold sequences from GenBank, RefSeq, TPA and PDB, and other sources.

"Provides sequence data for >70,000 plant species, custom EST assemblies (PUT) for over 150 species, web tools and plant genome browsers, as well as an outreach portal for plant genomics."

PubMed comprises over 24 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. PubMed citations and abstracts include the fields of biomedicine and health, covering portions of the life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. PubMed also provides access to additional relevant web sites and links to the other NCBI molecular biology resources.
