WCSdb: A database of Wild Coffea Species.

This the data table of the WCSdb: A database of Wild Coffea Species web site. The photo Gallery associated to this web site are available at https://doi.org/10.23708/JZA8I2 and the sequencing data at https://doi.org/10.23708/KWRIJJ Coffee is a beverage enjoyed by millions of people worldwide and an important commodity for millions of people. Beside the two cultivated species (Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora), the 139 wild coffee species belong to the Coffea genus are largely unknown to coffee scientists and breeders although these species may be crucial for future coffee crop development to face climate changes. Here we present the Wild Coffee Species database (WCSdb) hosted by Pl@ntNet platform (http://publish.plantnet-project.org/project/wildcofdb_en), providing information for 140 coffee species, for which 84 contain a photo gallery and 82 contain sequencing data (GBS, chloroplast or whole genome sequences). The objective of this database is to better understand and characterize the species (identification, morphology, biochemical compounds, genetic diversity, sequence data) in order to better protect and promote them.本数据集为野生咖啡属物种数据库（Wild Coffea Species Database，简称WCSdb）官网的数据表。该官网配套的照片图库可通过https://doi.org/10.23708/JZA8I2获取，测序数据则可通过https://doi.org/10.23708/KWRIJJ获取。 咖啡是全球数百万人喜爱的饮品，也是千万人的重要经济作物。除两个栽培种（小粒咖啡Coffea arabica和中粒咖啡Coffea canephora）外，目前咖啡科研人员与育种者对咖啡属的139个野生咖啡物种知之甚少，尽管这些物种对于应对气候变化、支撑未来咖啡作物育种发展至关重要。 本研究介绍了由Pl@ntNet平台托管的野生咖啡属物种数据库（WCSdb），其访问地址为http://publish.plantnet-project.org/project/wildcofdb_en。该数据库涵盖140个咖啡物种的相关信息，其中84个物种配有照片图库，82个物种包含测序数据（GBS、叶绿体基因组或全基因组序列）。 本数据库的构建目标为深入解析与表征这些咖啡物种（涵盖物种鉴定、形态学、生物化学成分、遗传多样性及序列数据等维度），从而更好地保护并推广这些野生咖啡资源。
