How to run blastp selectively against plants & fungi in blast2.5.0+?

Hi, I have blast2.5.0+ and have downloaded nr database. Since, blast with the complete nr db will take months for a whole genome, how can I run blastp selectively against only plant and fungi data?

blast+ blastp

Dear mirza, Hi.

You can use Diamond and do your search about 20,000 times faster than BLAST.

In addition, using BLAST2GO (NOT so fast), you can select the database you need (e.g Arabidopsis, etc) for your blast.
