Genes involved in uptake (transport), assimilation and utilization of macro- and micro-nutrients are responsible for their content in grain and straw. Although many cereal genomic databases are available, currently there is no cohesive web-resource of manually curated nutrient use efficiency (NtUE) related genes and QTLs, etc. In this study, we present a web-resource containing information on NtUE related genes/QTLs and the corresponding available microRNAs for some of these genes in four major cereal crops [wheat (Triticum aestivum), rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays), barley (Hordeum vulgare)], two alien species (Triticum urartu and Aegilops tauschii) related to wheat, and two model species including Brachypodium distachyon and Arabidopsis thaliana. Gene annotations integrated in the current web-resource were collected from the existing databases and the available literature. The primary goal of developing this web-resource is to provide descriptions of the NtUE related genes and their functional annotation. MicroRNA targeting some of the NtUE related genes and the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for NtUE related traits are also included. The available information in the web-resource should help the users to readily search the desired information.Web-resource URL http://bioclues.org/NtUE/
