A beta version of the new Plant Ontology file is available for internal review. For this release, the former plant_anatomy.obo and plant_structure.obo files have been merged into one file (plant_ontology.obo).

About 10 terms have been obsoleted or renamed/redefined. This may impact annotations from TAIR, MaizeGBD, Gramene and SGN . See New_terms_and_obsolete_terms_for_Jan2011_release, where it is possible to review the changes, with links to the annotation pages and suggestions as to where the annotations should be moved to.
