Abstract Background Apricot is cultivated worldwide because of its high nutritive content and strong adaptability. Its flesh is delicious and has a unique and pleasant aroma. Apricot kernel is also consumed as nuts. The genome of apricot has been sequenced, and the transcriptome, resequencing, and phenotype data have been increasely generated. However, with the emergence of new information, the data are expected to integrate, and disseminate. Results To better manage the continuous addition of new data and increase convenience, we constructed the apricot genomic and phenotypic database (AprGPD, http://apricotgpd.com ). At present, AprGPD contains three reference genomes, 1692 germplasms, 306 genome resequencing data, 90 RNA sequencing data. A set of user-friendly query, analysis, and visualization tools have been implemented in AprGPD. We have also performed a detailed analysis of 59 transcription factor families for the three genomes of apricot. Conclusion Six modules are displayed in AprGPD, including species, germplasm, genome, variation, product, tools. The data integrated by AprGPD will be helpful for the molecular breeding of apricot.
