ensembl_plants_lookup_locus
Retrieve plant gene metadata for a TAIR-style locus from Ensembl Plants; specify the organism for species like rice or maize.
Instructions
Fetch metadata for a plant locus identifier from Ensembl Plants. Defaults to arabidopsis_thaliana; pass organism= for other plant species (oryza_sativa, zea_mays, ...). Locus is the TAIR-style identifier (e.g. AT1G01010 for Arabidopsis NAC001).
