[ensembl-dev] Plants public mysql database

[Marc Hoeppner]

Hi Edwin,

if you check the site again you will see that there are several SQL 
servers. ensembldb.ensembl.org is only for the core genomes (vertebrates 
and some metazoan model systems). Plants should be available on either 
the ebi server (mysql.ebi.ac.uk) or more likely on gramene 
(gramenedb.gramene.org).

Cheers,
Marc
