SRG Database: a new tool for solanaceae resistance genes analysis. THE SRG is a database resource for the Solanaceae family with the aim of building a comparative bioinformatic platform to answer questions about plant-pathogen interaction. There are several prominent public databases that provide access to plant genome data. These include general repositories and species-specific or datatype-specific resources. In Solanaceae, recently a large amount of plant-pathogen interaction data have been generated being using different methods, in order to obtain the maximum benefit, however, it is necessary to create a public archive of these data. The SGRD provides an integrated view of resistance genes, defensive genes, RGA markers and other sequences involved in plant-pathogen interaction in the Solanaceae family. The database provides: about 3000 sequences that have been collected from several sources, and about 40 reference gene, with information about the sequences of DNA, RNA and protein, the symptoms of pathogenesis and the taxonomy of plants and of the pathogens. The SRG database which has many tools for a rapid search and a satisfactory result was written in MySQL and visualized with the PHP interface. A friendly interface makes the use of the database easy and thanks to the link with the mayor public database it is possible to obtain a complete scheme of all the information about the Solanaceae. In the database there are four categories of sequences. The first categories include the R genes conferring resistance to the specie-specific interaction between plant and host. The second category of genes includes the genes that have a role in the answer of Hypersensitive Reaction and/or in the defensive reactions. In the third category there is all the Resistance Gene Analogue at the R genes found in the Solanaceae. To the fourth category belong the sequences, implicated in the defence response, produced in our laboratories.
