种子的休眠和萌发涉及分子和生化程序的协同作用。利用现有的转录组、蛋白质组和代谢组分析方法，对这些过程进行详细的研究已经成为可能。然而，这些方法产生的大量数据往往令人眼花缭乱，需要高效的数据可视化工具。我们使用免费的PageMan/MapMan包（http://MapMan.gabipd.org）来可视化拟南芥种子在休眠和萌发期间的转录组和代谢组变化。利用这个包，我们开发了两个种子特异性MapMan通路，它们有效地捕获了种子中最重要的分子过程。结果证明了PageMan/MapMan软件包在种子研究中的实用性。
Seed dormancy and germination involve the concerted operation of molecular and biochemical programmes. It has become feasible to study these processes in great detail, using the current methods for transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analysis. Yet, the large amounts of data generated by these methods are often dazzling and demand efficient tools for data visualization. We have used the freely available PageMan/MapMan package (http://MapMan.gabipd.org) to visualize transcriptome and metabolome changes in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds during dormancy and germination. Using this package we developed two seed-specific MapMan pathways, which efficiently capture the most important molecular processes in seeds. The results demonstrated the usefulness of the PageMan/MapMan package for seed research.
