Release #20

• Goals and Timeline for Release:

• PO-Beta is loaded with new OBO file and new annotations sets

• Roughly 50 new terms and about 30 renamed terms
• See: Details_of_Changes_to_Release_20

New Annotation Files: Rice and Cotton

• Rice mutant phenotype set from the Plant Phenotype Pilot project- Lol and Laura. Example: leaf sheath

• still need a GR id for DSG1 [1] Should we just take it out?

• Cotton ESTs from a suppression subtractive hybridization study looking at cell wall biosynthesis in cotton suspension culture, derived from embryogenic callus tissue.

• Currently annotated to seed trichomes (PO:0004511), but should be plant protoplasts (PO:0000006) or embryogenic callus (PO:0006091)

• Reference: Expression profile analysis of genes involved in cell wall regeneration during protoplast culture in cotton by suppression subtractive hybridization and macroarray.
