In order to make full use of large-scale sequencing data and help researchers in related fields to achieve high-throughput functional verification of identified plant introns with functional elements, we designed a database containing five plant species, PlantIntronDB and systematically analyzed 358, 59, 185, 210 and 141 RNA-seq samples from Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), Gossypium raimondii (cotton), Zea mays (maize), Brassica napus (oilseed rape) and Oryza sativa Japonica Group (rice). In total, we found 100\u2009126 introns that host functional elements in these five species. Specifically, we found that among all species, the number of introns with functional elements on the positive and negative strands is similar, with a length mostly smaller than 1500 bp, and the Adenine\/Thymine (A\/T) content is much higher than that of Guanine\/Cytosine (G\/C). In addition, the distribution of functional elements in introns varies among different species. All the above data can be downloaded for free in this database. This database provides a concise, comprehensive and user-friendly web interface, allowing users to easily retrieve target data based on their needs, using relevant organizational options. The database operation is simple and convenient, aiming to provide strong data support for researchers in related fields to study plant introns that host functional elements, including circular RNAs, lncRNAs, etc.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Database URL: \u00a0http:\/\/deepbiology.cn\/PlantIntronDB\/<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/database\/baad082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,12]],"date-time":"2023-11-12T00:18:51Z","timestamp":1699748331000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["PlantIntronDB: a database for\u00a0plant introns that host functional elements"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"given":"Weiping","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiming","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Big Data Research Center, College of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University , Taian, Shandong 271018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Big Data Research Center, College of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University , Taian, Shandong 271018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Big Data Research Center, College of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University , Taian, Shandong 271018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Big Data Research Center, College of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University , Taian, Shandong 271018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023111200182376600_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1002\/wrna.1187","article-title":"Lives that introns lead after splicing","volume":"4","author":"Hesselberth","year":"2013","journal-title":"Wiley Interdiscip Rev.
