=Term Requests from [http://www.agron-omics.eu/ Agron-Omics]=
 
At the recent EBI Crop Ontology meeting PJ met with [http://atidb.org/group/projects.html Sean Walsh] [http://www.agron-omics.eu/ Arabidopsis GROwth Network integrating OMICS technologies]
 
==Vascular tissue:==
 
  
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3459287&group_id=76834&atid=835555 freely ending veinlet]: Part of leaf vein. Higher order veins that are only connected to other veins at one end.
 
 
proposed new def'n: A leaf vein above the first order that is connected to another vein only at one end.
 
 
comment: May be branched or simple. Usually used with third order or higher veins. If vein order is known, an additional annotation should be place on secondary vein (PO:0020140), tertiary vein (PO:0008021), quaternary vein (PO:0008022), or higher order vein (PO:0008023).
 
 
Note: PO currently does not have a term for first order or primary vein, but we have this term requested under [[Items_for_future_meetings#leaf_vein.2C_midrib.2C_costa]]
 
 
==Other==
 
 
We also have a request for [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3459178&group_id=76834&atid=835555 pappus] from Shawna Thompson. Don't know if it is related to these.
 
 
=New terms and changes arising from previous discussions=
 
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3458354&group_id=76834&atid=835555 seed (PO:0009010)]==
 
 
During a discussion at the POC meeting on 10-18-11, we realized that it would be best to have seed be a subtype of plant structure.
 
 
'''Current def.:''' A propagating organ formed in the reproductive cycle of
 
gymnosperms and angiosperms, derived from the ovule and enclosing an
 
embryo. [source: APWeb:Glossary, GR:Pankaj_Jaiswal]
 
comment: The seed is representative of a next generation of sporophyte.
 
 
'''New proposed def.:''' A plant structure that develops from an ovule and
 
contains an embryo enclosed in a seed coat.
 
 
Comment: A seed generally develops from an ovule after fertilization, but may develop without fertilization in the case of adventitious embryos, somatic embryos, or other embryos that arise through apogamy. A seed is a reproductive unit of seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms).
 
 
develops_from ovule, has_part embryo
 
 
Also removed seed part_of fruit relation, added seed to subsets for gymnosperms and angiosperms.
 
 
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2972117&group_id=76834&atid=835555 spore (PO:0025017)]==
 
 
Spore is_a cell, which is correct, but it is also a whole plant. Just as we changed the definition of [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3459493&group_id=76834&atid=835555 plant zygote] to reflect its dual nature, I suggest we change spore. Also suggest that we rename it plant spore, for consistency.
 
 
'''Current definition:''' A plant cell that arises through meiosis and develops into a gametophyte.
 
 
'''New proposed name and definition, plant spore:''' A single-celled whole plant that arises through meiosis and develops into a multi-celluar gametophyte.
 
 
Need to check if gametophytes are always multicellular in green algae.
 
 
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3469811&group_id=76834&atid=835555 plant spore stage (PO:0025375)]==
 
'''proposed definition:''' A gametophyte development stage that occurs during the interval between meiosis and the germination of a spore.
 
 
comment: The plant spore stage ends with the first cell division of a spore. Includes the stage when a megaspore is present before it develops into a megagametophyte or embryo sac and the stage when a microspore is present before it develops into a microgametophyte or pollen.
 
 
intersection of is_a gametophyte development stage, has_participant spore
 
 
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3469817&group_id=76834&atid=835555 plant spore dormant stage (PO:0025376)]==
 
 
'''proposed definition:''' A gametophyte dormant stage during which a spore participates in a dormancy process.
 
 
Comment: A dormancy process (GO:0022611) is a developmental process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken. Dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated.
 
 
is_a gametophyte dormant stage, has_participant spore
 
 
Because plant spore stage is an XP of is_a gametophyte development stage and has_participant spore, this will be inferred to be is_a plant spore stage.
 
 
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3469817&group_id=76834&atid=835555 plant embryo dormant stage (PO:0025377)]==
 
 
'''proposed definition:''' A sporophyte dormant stage during which a plant embryo participates in a dormancy process.
 
 
Comment: A dormancy process (GO:0022611) is a developmental process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken. Dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated. In seed plants, a plant embryo dormant stage may be part of a seed dormant stage.
 
 
is_a sporophyte dormant stage, has_participant plant embryo
 
 
Since plant embryo stage is an XP of is_a sporophyte development stage and has_participant plant embryo, this will be inferred to be is_a plant embryo stage.
 
 
Also added seed dormant stage has_ part plant embryo dormant stage. Can't add the inverse part_of relation, because not all embryo dormancy occurs in seeds.
