Other Items
Chelsea Specht (http://spechtlab.berkeley.edu/) will be visiting OSU to give the Templeton Lecture. Her talk is entitled: "Petaloidy, polarity, and pollination: the evolution and diversification of floral form in the Zingiberales."
She will be on campus all day Thursday(4/25) and Friday morning (4/26). Should we plan to meet with her?
Image annotations
The image annotation "dual-track" plan:
- 1) Import keyword-annotated whole images (from DWS) into our image annotation database.
- 2) Segment and annotate DWS-contributed images with AISO; then import those newer, annotated versions into the image annotation database as an update for
Annotation progress
- DWS has provided over a dozen images (in both unlabeled and labeled versions) and has filled out the image data submission data template. Thanks, Dennis!
- Lol and Laura have received basic training on using AISO and have begun annotating images
- Let's prioritize which terms need images: PJ: Physco terms, grass florets, root anatomy, SAM (fern and flowering plant), different kinds of veins in leaves, part of ATOL project (NOTE: DWS has images of thorns and prickles, septum, locule, pericarp)
Database development
- We have designed and built a database for holding annotated image data, with ontology terms and/or keywords
- Nikhil is currently developing a data import script to bring Dennis' images and annotations into this db (whole image annotations first, segmented annotations next)
AISO Software Updates
- Current public version for download: http://files.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/Jaiswal_Lab/AISO/v0.2.1/
- We have an updated version (0.3) currently in testing; it will be made available for public download in a few days.
New Requests:
Request from DWS for terms to describe root protoxylem development
protoxylem (PO:0000272): A portion of primary xylem (PO:0005849) tissue that has as parts tracheary elements (PO:0000290) with only annular or helical secondary wall thickening that are the first formed tracheary elements at a particular location. [source: ISBN:047125208]
Comment: Develops while the vascular tissue (PO:0009015) is still elongating. Tracheary elements in protoxylem are smaller than in metaxylem (PO:0000372). Tracheary elements have lignified cell walls with secondary thickening and are dead at maturity.
These are patterns of xylem development see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem
From Esau:
- centarch protoxylem: is_a shoot system centarch protoxylem
- mesarch- shoot axis
- exarch protoxylem- A portion of protoxylem (PO:0000272) tissue in which the maturation of cells progresses centripedally, the oldest elements (protoxylem) are farthest from the center of the axis.
- endarch- maturation of cells progresses centrifugally, the oldest elements (protoxylem) are towards the center of the axis. typical of seed plants
shoot axis and root axis
- root protoxylem
- monarch protoxylem-
- diarch protoxylem- A portion of protoxylem (PO:0000272) tissue in which the primary xylem of the root has two protoxylem strands or two protoxylem poles
- triarch- A portion of protoxylem (PO:0000272) tissue in which the primary xylem of the root has three protoxylem strands or three protoxylem poles
- tertrach- primary xylem of the root has 4 protoxylem strands or 4 protoxylem poles
- pentarch- primary xylem of the root has 5 protoxylem strands or 5 protoxylem poles
- polyarch- primary xylem of the root has many protoxylem strands or many protoxylem poles
These are patterns of xylem development see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem
trichome tip and apex
Based on the discussion on POC call 4-16-13, make new terms and extensively revised the trichome branch of the ontology:
Added unicellular trichome, rather than having it a synonym of trichome cell.
Added new terms and revised the rest:
* multicellular trichome (PO:0025162): A portion of plant tissue that forms a non-sclerified outgrowth from the epidermis. [source: POC:curators]
* unicellular trichome (PO:0025537):- A trichome (PO:0000282) that is a single plant cell (PO:0009002). is_a trichome, is_a plant cell. comment: This should not be confused with a trichome cell, which is a plant cell (PO:0009002) that is part of a multicellular trichome (PO:0000282).
* trichome apex (new PO:0025550): A plant structure (PO:0009011) that is the apical most portion of a trichome (PO:0000282). comment: An apex of a unicellular trichome is a GO sub-cellular component GO:xxxxxxx. is_a plant structure, part_of trichome ** multicellular trichome apex (new PO:0025551): A portion of plant tissue (PO:0009007) that is the apical most portion of a multicellular trichome (PO:0025162). is_a trichome apex, part_of multicellular trichome (PO:0025551)
* trichome tip (new PO:0025549): A plant structure (PO:0009011) that is the apical most portion of trichome apex (PO:0025550). is_a plant structure, part of trichome apex ** multicellular trichome tip (PO:0025535): comment:
Have requested the parts of the unicellular trichome from GO
petal nanoridges
Suggested Definition: Microscopic, often parallel, ridges composed of cutin occurring on the surface of petals. Parent/relationship: part_of petal epidermis (PO:0006041)
Reference: PMID 19959665
Added new term: plant cuticle ridge (PO:0025536): A portion of plant cuticle (PO:000022) that forms a ridge, may be overlayed with epicuticluar wax (PO:0025388).
epicuticular wax (PO:0025388): A portion of cuticular wax that forms crystalloids or a smooth film on the exterior of a cuticle. [source: PMID:12467640, PO_Ref:00010]
Comment: Epicuticular waxes may take a variety of forms, such as plates, ribbons, tubes, and rods.
Other Items for discussion
- please see the Items_for_future_meetings page, will be moved here before the meeting
Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2013:
NCBO Hackathon April 29-30, 2013
The NCBO Hackathon will take place at Stanford University on April 29-30, 2013. This event will focus on projects in biomedical or clinical informatics that can benefit from use of ontology-based technology.
The entire NCBO Team will be available to brainstorm application ideas and to answer development questions. We will also have separate sessions to provide training on the NCBO Web services, the BioPortal SPARQL endpoint, and other topics of interest requested by participants.
If you are thinking of incorporating semantics into your software application, the Hackathon will provide a great opportunity to get a head start on your project.

- 1. To inform members of the Protein, Plant, Gene Ontology communities of developments in each of these ontologies, and in related ontologies such as the CL (Cell), TO (Plant Trait), ENVO (Environment), PATO (Phenotype) and IDO-Plant (Plant Infectious Disease) ontologies. Specifically:
- a. To enhance the PO treatment of plant-related proteins
- b. To address issues concerning reuse of GO terms to describe plant-related proteins, for example as concerns treatment of plant life cycle and development stages
- 2. To contribute to the cROP (Common Reference Ontologies for Plants) initiative
- 3. To contribute to the ontological understanding of phenotype and disease in all model organisms.
- 4. To identify potentially fruitful applications which enhanced ontology coordination might bring.
