=Ontology Issues to be worked on:=
  
−
Comment: This includes physiological, molecular and biochemical traits as well.
+
=Order of Top Priority sections=
  
−
===background on the GO classes:===
+
'''''***Note: content below needs to be updated***''
−
*cellular component (GO:0005575): The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located.
+
'''
−
Includes cells and parts of cells like membranes, organelles, symplast, apoplast, plant extracellular matrix (The matrix external to the plant plasma membrane, composed of the cell wall and middle lamella), parts of the pollen wall (exine (including sexine), intine), pollen coat, 
 
  
−
*biological process (GO:0008150): Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
+
anatomy and morphology traits
−
Includes: Processes important to plants such as: growth, development, reproduction, senescence, respiration, photosynthesis, metabolism, signaling, response to abiotic (e.g. cold acclimation, vernalization, heat, flooding, drought, response to herbicide, wounding, inorganic substance) and biotic stress (responses to bacteria, fungi, herbivores, insects, viruses, symbionts, defense response, detection of stress, incompatible and compatible responses), rhythmic process (e.g. circadian rhythm > circadian regulation of gene expression), seed development and germination, phloem transport, etc etc..... nitrogen fixation . 
+
* Continue to restructure terms to follow hierarchy of PO
 +
** Need work:
 +
*** [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3544697&group_id=76834&atid=835557 Fruit anatomy and morphology trait]- see comments on tracker, modify synonymns- ''I think this is done, no?''
 +
*** in vitro plant structure anatomy and morphology trait - no child terms exist
 +
*** plant cell anatomy and morphology trait - several development traits exist under this category
 +
*** plant embryo anatomy and morphology trait - need to work on definitions of child terms (structure is alright)
 +
*** portion of plant tissue anatomy and morphology trait - The vascular tissue traits need some work. There is a part_of relation between seed coat color and plant structure anatomy and morphology trait, should this be there?
  
−
*molecular function (GO:0003674): Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level.
 
−
Includes all the enzyme activities such as catalysis of a biochemical reaction, regulation, binding, nucleic acid binding (transcription factor), receptor activity, transporter activity,etc
 
  
−
==[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3519672&group_id=76834&atid=835557 anatomy and morphology related trait (TO:0000017)]==
+
stress trait
−
current def'n: This category belongs to traits associated with changes in the anatomy or structure of the plant at organ, tissue or cellular level.
+
* The two upper level terms here are good
 +
** abiotic stress trait
 +
*** Proposed hierarchy:
 +
**** environmental stress trait
 +
***** temperature stress response trait
 +
***** water stress response trait
 +
***** radiation stress response trait
 +
***** chemical stress response trait  
 +
**** agricultural practice stress response trait
  
−
proposed def'n: A plant trait (TO:0000387) which is associated with the anatomy or morphology of a plant anatomical entity (PO:0000003) or one or more constituent cellular components (GO:0005575) contained therein.
+
** biotic stress trait - these traits have a good structure
  
−
comment: Includes traits of plant structures (PO:0009011) such as plant cell (PO:0009002), plant organ (PO:0009008), portion of plant tissue (PO:0009007), vascular system (PO:0000034), whole plant (PO:0000003) and seed (PO:0009010) as well as those of plant anatomical spaces (PO:0025117), portions of plant substance (PO:0025161).
 
  
−
''note: The PO ids in the comments do not go into the Dbxrefs''
+
biochemical trait
 +
* has some upper level terms that are very good, others just need to become children of the terms that already exist
 +
** terms to keep:
 +
*** biological process related trait
 +
*** enzymatic activity and protein content related trait (maybe this could be 2 separate traits)
 +
*** metabolite content related trait
 +
*** mineral and ion content related trait

Ontology Issues to be worked on:

Order of Top Priority sections

***Note: content below needs to be updated***

anatomy and morphology traits

  • Continue to restructure terms to follow hierarchy of PO
    • Need work:
      • Fruit anatomy and morphology trait- see comments on tracker, modify synonymns- I think this is done, no?
      • in vitro plant structure anatomy and morphology trait - no child terms exist
      • plant cell anatomy and morphology trait - several development traits exist under this category
      • plant embryo anatomy and morphology trait - need to work on definitions of child terms (structure is alright)
      • portion of plant tissue anatomy and morphology trait - The vascular tissue traits need some work. There is a part_of relation between seed coat color and plant structure anatomy and morphology trait, should this be there?


stress trait

  • The two upper level terms here are good
    • abiotic stress trait
      • Proposed hierarchy:
        • environmental stress trait
          • temperature stress response trait
          • water stress response trait
          • radiation stress response trait
          • chemical stress response trait
        • agricultural practice stress response trait
    • biotic stress trait - these traits have a good structure


biochemical trait

  • has some upper level terms that are very good, others just need to become children of the terms that already exist
    • terms to keep:
      • biological process related trait
      • enzymatic activity and protein content related trait (maybe this could be 2 separate traits)
      • metabolite content related trait
      • mineral and ion content related trait


growth and development

  • waiting to start the hierarchy until the PO has finished restructuring their growth and development traits
  • current PO hierarchy:
    • collective plant structure development trait
    • plant organ development stage
    • plant tissue development stage
    • seed development stage
    • trichome development stage
    • whole plant development stage
  • currently in TO there is no upper level structure for this category


yield trait

  • should all these terms fall under biomass yield trait?
  • e.g. grain yield, harvest index, inflorescence yield, ethanol yield from biomass...all can be children of biomass yield trait.


stature and vigor/quality traits

  • could these two categories be combine?


fertility and sterility traits

  • could we incorporate these to stature and vigor/quality or growth and development?
  • There only about 4 traits under this category


other misc traits

  • this trait should be obsoleted
  • no terms exist under this category

Duplicated terms:

stem senescence

  • stem senescence (TO:0001036) def: "A measurement of aging of stem."

is_a: TO:0000361 ! stem anatomy and morphology trait

and

  • stem senescence (TO:0020085) def: "A trait to measure the stem senescence."

is_a: TO:0000654 ! shoot development trait


Same problem as before:

total water soluble content

  • total water soluble content (TO:0002711): def: "The concentration of water soluble components in the plant as determined by refractive index."

is_a: TO:0000281 ! metabolite content related trait

and

  • total water soluble content (TO:0020088): def: "A trait to measure the concentration of water soluble components in the plant as determined by refractive index."

comment: This trait is usually highly correlated with total soluble sugar content (TO:0000340). Often determined in fresh tissue. synonym: "total dissolved solids content" EXACT [] is_a: TO:0000281 ! metabolite content related trait

  • inflorescence width (TO:0000637)
  • inflorescence width (TO:0000804): An inflorescence anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000373) which is associated with the width of an inflorescence (PO:0009049).


  • check definition of: TO:0020085

the term name itself should never be used (except some particular cases) to define a concept...

plant organ anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000736) and subclasses:

leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748)

Proposed to create two subcategories for leaf a&m trait

  • vascular leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000419): A leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748) which is associated with a vascular leaf (PO:0009025).
  • non-vascular leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000925): A leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748) which is associated with a non-vascular leaf (PO:0025075).

We should also keep general leaf a&m traits such as leaf size to encompass both vascular and non-vascular leaves.

Need to add comment to all general leaf terms: If you are annotating to this term, please add an additional annotation to vascular leaf anatomy and morphology (TO:0000419) or non-vascular leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000925), depending on the species.

specific leaf area

Request from SF: Specific leaf area

  • definition: leaf area measured in ratio to leaf dry mass.
  • synonym: leaf specific area
  • might need addition of 'leaf dry mass' as new trait.


Existing terms:

  • name: specific leaf area (TO:0000562) -is_a: TO:0000540 ! leaf area

Proposed definition: A leaf area (TO:0000540) trait that is the ratio of the leaf area (TO:0000540) to the leaf dry weight (TO:0001014)

Or "A leaf area trait (TO:0000540) that is the ratio of the leaf area (TO:0000540) to the leaf dry mass (TO:New)

Or use both: A leaf area trait (TO:0000540) that is the ratio of the leaf area (TO:0000540) to the leaf dry weight (TO:0001014) or leaf dry mass (TO:New).

SLA at Mgdb

  • leaf weight (TO:0000505) def: "A leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000505) which is associated with the measure of leaf weight."
    • leaf wet weight id: TO:0000891 def: "A leaf weight trait (TO:0000505) which is associated with the measure of the wet weight of a leaf (PO:0025034)." [PO:0025034, TO:moorel]
    • leaf dry weight id: TO:0001014 def: "A leaf weight trait (TO:0000505) which is associated with the measure of the dry weight of a leaf (PO:0025034)." [GR:pj, PO:0025034, TO:moorel]

Need to add references to PATO weight in these.

  • mass (PATO:0000125): A physical quality that inheres in a bearer by virtue of the proportion of the bearer's amount of matter.
  • weight (PATO:0000128): A physical quality inhering in a bearer that has mass near a gravitational body.

shoot system anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000077)

  • TO:0020077 : head drop
  • TO:0000623 : involucre bristle length

Other anatomy and morphology trait classes:

cell organelle structure trait (TO:0002713)

Need to resolve whether this is an anatomy and morphology related trait (TO:0000017) or a growth and development trait (TO:0000357).

current def'n: Trait(s) associated with phenotypes observed for abnormal development of organelle structure and biogenesis.

  • plastid development trait

vascular tissue related trait

new term plant aspect (TO:0000737)

Should this go under stature or vigor trait (TO:0000133)? - refers to a whole plant

whole plant trait TO:0000398

has been obsoleted, maybe we should consider bringing back?

Other top level classes:

growth and development trait

growth and development trait (TO:0000357): Traits associated with observing effects on the development of the plant or plant parts.
