description <i>Paris polyphylla</i> Smith is a perennial medicinal herb with records from around 2000 years ago. Polyphyllins are the main bioactive compounds of this herb, which are found to have remarkable effects on bacteriostatic, antiphlogistic, sedative, and antitumor. However, the market demand for <i>P. polyphylla</i> is sharply increasing, and the wild resources are threatened by plundering exploitation. Integrating molecular data of <i>P. polyphylla</i> can benefit the sustainable resource exploitation. Here, we constructed PPDP (<i>Paris polyphylla</i> Data Portal) to provide a data platform for polyphyllin biosynthesis and germplasm resource research. PPDP integrates related molecular data resources, functional genomics analysis, and morphological identification. The database provides abundant data (transcriptome, CDS, lncRNA, alternative splicing, gene family, SSR, and chloroplast genome) and practical analytical tools (network construction, heatmap of expression profiles, enrichment, and pathway search) with a user-friendly interface. So far, PPDP is the first biomolecular database for the genus <i>Paris</i> plants. In the future, we will gradually add genomic data and other necessary molecular biological information to improve the database.
