PlantVirDisConDB: an integrated resource linking plant virus sequence records with hosts, phenotypes, targets, antiviral evidence, and AI-assisted prioritization.

PlantVirDisConDB integrates curated plant virus records with hosts, phenotypes, targets, antiviral evidence, and AI prioritization, totaling about 5000 virus/subviral records and 38,000 sequence accessions.

• Why it matters: Plant virus research is hindered by fragmented databases for taxonomy, sequences, disease, molecular targets, and antiviral assays, limiting integrated retrieval and comparison.
• What they did: The freely accessible, no-login database links these data via curated virus records and provides linked record pages plus an activity prediction module that ranks candidate molecule–virus pairs with applicability warnings.
• The result: It enables cross-type searches (including sequence, target, and molecular similarity queries) and supports evidence-aware prioritization without implying experimental or field efficacy.
