The IRRI Library is responsible for maintaining the Rice Bibliography. Whereas the library catalogue contains a large collection of books and journals of interest to scientists researching rice or rice-related topics, the Rice Bibliography is a comprehensive bibliography of all books and articles directly pertaining to rice. It endeavours to include all articles and books relating to rice in the world, and is the world's largest and most complete source of scientific information about rice with almost 8,000 new references added each year. All articles pertaining to rice are sought out for the Rice Bibliography and IRRI Library acquires copies of the article whether or not it holds the particular serial in its collection. Over the years the Rice Bibliography has been mounted on a total of four software packages. The version on the screen before you contains references from 1970 onwards. Older references, a few going back to the mid-18th century, are available for searching at IRRI Library. ... [Information of the supplier]
An estimated 50,000 - 70,000 plant species are used in traditional and modern medicine throughout the world. The great majority of medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) species used today are collected from the wild. Unfortunately, available information suggests that up to 15,000 MAP species could be threatened, many as a direct result of unsustainable collection practices. Industry, governments, organic certifiers, resource managers and collectors are concerned about declining MAP populations and supplies, and are asking for a means to assess whether wild collection is sustainable. Consumers also want evidence that products are produced sustainably and ethically. ISSC-MAP has been developed to meet this need, and is the product of wide consultation with these and other stakeholder groups. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

Medicinal and aromatic plants in many forms have been used since the ancient times in the traditional medicinal practices for health care. According to the WHO report, medicinal plants are accessible, affordable and culturally appropriate sources of primary health care for more than 80% of the world population relies on traditional medicine largely plant based for their primary healthcare needs. The 7th Global Summit on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants is therefore being organized from November 19-21, 2018 at The Empress Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The theme of the summit will be: Herbal Medicinen in Health Care". ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
ALTBIB: Bibliography on Alternatives to the Use of Live Vertebrates in Biomedical Research and Testing - The intent of the bibliography is to assist in identifying methods and procedures helpful in supporting the development, testing, application, and validation of alternatives to the use of vertebrates in biomedical research and toxicology testing. This bibliography is produced from MEDLARS database searches, performed and analyzed by subject experts from the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) of the Specialized Information Services Division (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). ...

The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) prototype identifies interactions between chemicals and genes in diverse organisms to advance understanding of how environmental chemicals affect human health. CTD integrates and curates gene, sequence, chemical, reference, taxonomic and Gene Ontology data to support your hypotheses about gene-chemical interactions. Our data integration and curation are in early stages [as of February 2005]. For example, to date, we have curated 21 of approximately 550 targeted genes. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

PubMed, available via the NCBI Entrez retrieval system, was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). Entrez is the text-based search and retrieval system used at NCBI for services including PubMed, Nucleotide and Protein Sequences, Protein Structures, Complete Genomes, Taxonomy, OMIM, and many others. PubMed provides access to citations from biomedical literature. LinkOut provides access to full-text articles at journal Web sites and other related Web resources. PubMed also provides access and links to the other Entrez molecular biology resources. PubMed provides access to bibliographic information that includes MEDLINE, OLDMEDLINE, as well as: (1) The out-of-scope citations (e.g., articles on plate tectonics or astrophysics) from certain MEDLINE journals, primarily general science and chemistry journals, for which the life sciences articles are indexed for MEDLINE. (2) Citations that precede the date that a journal was selected for MEDLINE indexing. (3) Some additional life science journals that submit full text to PubMedCentral and receive a qualitative review by NLM. ... [Information of the supplier]
