Issue with Pathview Recognizing KEGG Species Code "mflo" for Miscanthus floridulus

[ashelylinluo]

Dear Pathview Development Team,

I am writing to seek clarification regarding the use of Pathview for a specific species code.

I am working with Miscanthus floridulus (species code mflo) （https://www.kegg.jp/brite/br08611）and noticed that this species is listed in KEGG's database under the taxonomy hierarchy. However, when I attempt to run Pathview with the following parameters, I encounter the error:
"Note: Unknown species 'mflo'! Error: All species are invalid!"

Here is the code I used:

R
复制代码
library(pathview)

gene.data <- c("mflo_gene1" = 2.0, "mflo_gene2" = -1.5, "mflo_gene3" = 3.2)

pathview(
gene.data = gene.data,
pathway.id = "00710", # C4 carbon fixation pathway
species = "mflo", # Species code for Miscanthus floridulus
out.suffix = "C4_mflo",
kegg.native = TRUE
)
My observations:
I have verified that mflo exists in KEGG's taxonomy database, as shown on the KEGG organism page for Miscanthus floridulus.
Despite being listed in KEGG, Pathview does not recognize this species code.
Questions:
Does Pathview currently support the species code mflo for KEGG pathways?
If not, is there a way to manually include or update Pathview's species database to support mflo?
Are there any known limitations in Pathview regarding new KEGG species codes or updates?
Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
