Background:The genus Artocarpus includes about 70 species, such as the economically important jackfruit and breadfruit, which serve as vital sources of food, timber, and medicine in the tropics. However, systematic research and genetic improvement have been restricted by the scarcity and fragmentation of available genomic data. Methods: Here, we developed the Artocarpus Genome Database (ArGD), a publicly accessible, comprehensive research platform dedicated to this genus. ArGD centrally integrates high-quality genomic sequences from seven Artocarpus genomes, along with related transcriptomic data and detailed functional annotations. Results: Beyond basic data retrieval, ArGD features a suite of advanced visualization and analysis modules, including BLAST, JBrowse, expression heatmaps, volcano plots, synteny viewers, ArtocarpusCYC metabolic interface, and Gene Ontology (GO)/KEGG enrichment analyses. Additionally, ArGD provides online identification tools for gene families related to fruit aroma and secondary metabolism. Conclusions: Overall, ArGD serves as a valuable resource for functional genomics and comparative studies in Artocarpus, facilitating future research and data-driven studies of genetic improvement.
