Ginkgo DB is a multiscale comprehensive germplasm database for Ginkgo biloba having been developed since 2020. The multi-omic genetic database and occurrence database are two core components of GinkgoDB. Around them, a series of databases like growth monitoring, phenological observation, environment data, as well as photos and articals about ginkgo have been being organized and posted on our site.

GinkgoDB aims at sharing with the world the results of research on the evolutionary ecology of ginkgo and empowering the conservation of wild population of this fascinating species.

We study evolutionary ecology of relict tree species using the living fossil Ginkgo biloba (maidenhair tree) as major study systems by integrating field observatory and monitoring data, multi-omic data and experimental data. The key question We have been focused on is the evolutionary causes and genetic bases underlying regulation mechanisms of population size and distribution with an emphasis on three key ecological processes, i.e., reproduction, morality and dispersal. The specific questions include response strategies to global climate change and adaptive evolution, sex chromosome evolution and sexual dimorphism, evolution of secondary metabolites, plant-microbial coupling and coevolution.
