=Status of New Annotation Files for data release in Dec:=
 
 
This content below needs updating:  Copied from 9-27-11 meeting
 
 
===Physcomitrella Annotations===
 
 
LC has been working with DL and SR to get the Physcomitrella annotations added
 
 
===Gramene Annotations===
 
 
During the last release cycle, LC worked with the Gramene collaborators to get their files updated.  They were also going through a realase as well. Have not received any new annotations, even though they said they should be coming from Gramene in the next 1-2 weeks''
 
 
===Grape and Strawberry===
 
* LC working on grape file, see sample
 
 
* Strawberry is on SVN: [http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/trunk/associations/po_anatomy_gene_fragaria_jaiswallab.assoc?view=log strawberry]
 
 
What links do we need to use for these and how do we get AmiGO to recognize them?
 
 
''See notes above''
 
 
===Potato Annotations===
 
 
LC has been in contact with the group who published the [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v475/n7355/full/nature10158.html#/f4 potato genome paper] and they are interested in collaborating with us to assign ontology terms to the annotations.
 
 
From Dr. Richard Finker (Wageningen, The Netherlands):
 
 
"We are also interested to use trait ontologies to assist in candidate gene selection within regions of interest, I'm eager to discuss with you on the efforts of cross linking ontologies to biological relevant entities. e.g. a metabolite content trait to its e.g. chebi ontology ID, form which we could obtain info about the pathway."
 
 
''This will go in the next release, do they have expression data- RNA Seq?''
 
 
===Comments from PJ about Annotation Guidelines===
 
 
Ask MS if she can write up a small blurb on how she created the Maize annotations.  Maize probe ids => gene ids  methods and cut-offs, a guide for other collaborators and  a page for the info.
 
Maybe co-author it with SR
 
 
-This will also be helpful when applying for new grants
 
 
-it would be helpful to have a detailed guide on our wiki for collaborators
 
 
 
 
==Whole plant development stages==
 
 
''postponed until next week''
 
 
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3435050&group_id=76834&atid=835555 gametophyte/sporophyte dormant stage]===
 
====GO terms====
 
GO has terms for dormancy process and seed dormancy, but no term for whole organism dormancy.
 
 
'''dormancy process (GO:0022611):''' The process in which a dormant state is induced, maintained or broken. Dormancy is characterized by a suspension of physiological activity. (They also have a term for seed dormancy.)
 
 
'''proposed new definition for dormancy process:'''  A developmental process in which a dormant state is induced, maintained or broken.
 
 
Comment: A dormant state is characterized by a suspension of most physiological activity, and, in plants, by a suspension of growth.
 
 
 
'''seed dormancy (GO:0010162):''' The process in which a dormant state is induced, maintained and broken in a seed. Dormancy is characterized by a suspension of physiological activity that can be reactivated.
 
 
'''proposed new definition for seed dormancy:'''  A dormancy process that has as participant a seed.
 
 
comment: Seed dormancy is characterized by a suspension of physiological activity that can be reactivated. Often requires special conditions for reactivation such as specific temperature, scarification, or leeching of inhibitors.(''work on comment'')
 
 
 
'''organism dormancy (new term):''' A dormancy process that has as participant a whole organism.
 
 
====PO terms====
 
'''sporophyte dormant stage (PO:0007132):''' A sporophyte development stage during which a sporophyte participates in a dormancy process (GO:0022611).
 
 
comment: This term only applies to a whole plant in the sporophyte stage, not to the dormant stage of a seed, bud, or other plant structure, although dormancy of buds is an essential part of the sporophyte dormant stage. A sporophyte dormant stage involves the formation of dormant buds. These may be above ground (in woody plants), at ground level (in herbaceous plants), or underground (in plants with tubers, bulbs, corms, or perennating rhizomes). Dormancy may be preceded by the senescence of other plant parts such as leaves in woody plants or most of the shoot system herbaceous perennials. Evidence of the end of dormancy is the resumed growth of buds and/or the growth of vascular cambium. The dormant stage is an evolved response to environmental conditions such as seasonality, extreme heat, drought, or cold.
 
 
'''gametophyte dormant stage (PO:0025342):''' A gametophyte development stage during which a gametophyte participates in a dormancy process (GO:0022611).
 
 
comment: This term only applies to a whole plant in the gametophyte stage, not to the dormant stage of other plant structures. The dormant stage is an evolved response to environmental conditions such as seasonality, extreme heat, drought, or cold.

====embryo stage====
 
We already had a term PO:0007631, embryo development stages, is_a seed development stage. This term was renamed '''embryo stage''' and made is_a sporophyte vegetative stage.
 
 
proposed def.:
 
 
'''embryo stage (PO:0007631):''' A sporophyte vegetative stage that occurs during the interval between the first cell division and one of the following: germination in seed plants, formation of the first true leaf after the cotyledon(s) in pteridophytes, cessation of division of the apical cell and initiation of development of the sporangium in bryophytes, or the beginning of the formation of organs (roots, shoot axes, or leaves) in cultured plant embryos.
 
 
Comment: The embryo stage generally starts after the first division of a zygote, but in the case of adventitious embryos, somatic embryos, other embryos that arise through apogamy, and cultured haploid embryos, it begins after the division of a single cell that is not a zygote. The end of the embryo stage varies among taxa.
 
 
====plant embryo====
 
Now that we have a working term for embryo stage, we can define '''plant embryo''' in terms of the stage.
 
 
'''existing def. plant embryo (PO:0009009):''' A whole plant in the early part of a sporophytic phase after the first cell division.
 
 
'''proposed def. plant embryo (PO:0009009):''' A whole plant that participates in the embryo stage (PO:0025369).
 
 
comment (basically the same as existing comment): An embryo is generally formed after the first division of a zygote, but in the case of adventitious embryos, somatic embryos, other embryos that arise through apogamy, and cultured haploid embryos, it is formed after the division of a single cell that is not a zygote. The end of the embryo stage varies among taxa. In seed plants, the embryo stage ends with germination. In pteridophytes, the embryo stage ends with the formation of the first true leaf after the cotyledon(s). In bryophytes, the embryo stage ends when the apical cell stops dividing and the sporangium begins to develop. In cultured plant embryos, the embryo stage ends when organs (roots, shoot axes, or leaves) begin to form.
 
 
-change from participates_in sporophyte development stage to participates_in embryo stage
 
 
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3439450&group_id=76834&atid=835555 zygote stage]===
 
 
We already have a term "A zygotic stage" (PO:0001097), is_a embryo stage. This was renamed '''zygote stage''' and made is_a sporophyte development stage.
 
 
'''proposed def. zygote stage (PO:0001097):'''A sporophyte development stage that occurs during the interval between syngamy and the first cell division.
