The Plantannot software provides several filters and a text search box that allows searching for molecules by its desired annotation features. These filters are needed to obtain PUFs and to try to relate them to abiotic stresses using RNA-seq expression data and co-expression networks. The Filters menu is separated in 8 fields, of those we are going to use only five: "Organism", "Feature type", "Orthology", "Orthologs_coexpression" and "Analyses". The "Feature Type" filter has three molecule types, from those the polypeptide box is the only that is going to be always checked and the others blank. By using the other 4 remaining filters, 6 protocols were created as examples of different ways to selecting PUFs. Protocol A: using lack of both homology and protein domain signatures. Protocol B: using lack of homology, presence of domain signatures -trying to select Domains of Unknown Function (DUF) from PFAM, and the text search "Unknown function".Protocol C: using homology, lack of protein domain signatures and the text search "Unknown function". Protocol D-F: same protocols of A-C but using ortholog groups to find homolog proteins with co-expression data related to abiotic stress.

In addition to the applied filters, text search for "Unknown function" in the search box. After entering the text click on the magnifying glass icon to apply the search.
Find PUFs from organisms that proteins are already public in the NCBI´s "nr" database and have no protein domain found by Interproscan. Proteins will be selected using the text search "Unknown function". Also, ortholog groups and co-expression networks will be used to relate proteins to abiotic stresses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
