eDOPS is an electronic
Database
Of
PlantS developed by a dynamic team of researchers at Department of Botanical and
Environmental Sciences, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. The mission is to develop, maintain and continuously update
the database of plants of Punjab, India. We aim to compile information about different plants of Punjab and store in an electronic
database in such a manner so as to allow easy and efficient retrieval. This database covers three sub databases;
eDOTS (electronic
Database
Of
Trees and
Shrubs), eDOHP (An
electronic
Database
Of
Herbaceous
Plants), and eGNDUH
(electronic
Guru
Nanak
Dev
University
Herbarium). The Database will serve the purpose of storing, organizing and providing the
efficient retrieval of information of all plants (Native as well as Naturalized) of Punjab. This database will serve the dual
purpose of providing data cum multimedia information of each plant species. The Focus of the database is to provide information
about Botanical name, Popular/Common name, Family name, Flowering time, Fruiting time, Distribution, Economic importance,
Morphological description and photographs of different views/parts of each plant. The database can be searched using different
search options- plant wise and family wise. To begin with we have compiled information of most of the plants of Amritsar city.
