PO hierarchy:  plant organ > phyllome >leaf > vascular leaf > cotyledon
 
 
 
make children of new class: plant organ anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000736): An anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000017) which is associated with a plant organ (PO:0009008).
 
 
 
Add new classes:
 
* '''phyllome anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000747):''' A plant organ anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000736) which is associated with a phyllome (PO:0006001).
 
 
 
* existing class: '''leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000419):''' Traits associated with changes in the anatomy or structure of the leaf and its parts.
 
 
 
this refers only to vascular leaves, there are 625 annotations on Gramene for this class
 
 
 
propose we rename to '''vascular''' leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000419).  this will make it clear that it is specific to vascular leaves. See revised def'n below.  This will allow all the existing children to stay on the vlamt and won't mess up the annotations as TO# will stay the same.
 
  
* new term: '''leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748)''': A phyllome anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000747) which is associated with a leaf (PO:0025034).  
+

*'''vascular leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000419):''' revised def'n: A leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748) which is associated with a vascular leaf (PO:0009025).
 
  
*'''cotyledon anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000749):''' A vascular leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000419) which is associated with a cotyledon (PO:0020030).

anatomy and morphology traits
 +
* Continue to restructure terms to follow hierarchy of PO
 +
** Need work:
 +

 +
*** 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?

 +
*** metabolite content related trait

+
the term name itself should never be used (except some particular cases) to define a concept...
current (now former) name and def'n: shoot anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000077): Traits associated with changes in the anatomy or structure of the shoot and its parts.
 
  
One of the many problems with this currently is that it does not include whole plant traits, but has a hodge podge of children, including terms describing plant organs and cardinal organ parts and whole plant traits such as plant height.
+
=plant organ anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000736) and subclasses:=
  
new name and def'n: shoot system anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000077): An anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000017) which is associated with a shoot system (PO:0009006).
+
=leaf anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000748)=
  
The PO class shoot system (PO:0009006) includes several important subclasses such as: bud, primary shoot, reproductive shoot system (inflorescence, flower, spikelet, infructescence, reproductive bud, etc) and others.
+
Proposed to create two subcategories for leaf a&m trait  
  
''PO note: look at primary shoot (PO:0006341) (CPS > shoot system) vs stem (PO:0009047) (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis).  How can primary shoot be a shoot system?? -needs to be resolved.''
+
*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).
  
===Reassigning the child classes===
+
*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).
'''current is child classes (with PO class):'''
 
*flower anatomy and morphology trait (CPS > shoot system > reproductive shoot system > flower)
 
*inflorescence anatomy and morphology trait (CPS > shoot system > reproductive shoot system > inflorescence)
 
''These could stay in this renamed class; shoot system anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000077)''
 
  
 +
We should also keep general leaf a&m traits such as leaf size to encompass both vascular and non-vascular leaves.
  
*coleoptile color (plant organ)
+
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.
*coleoptile length (plant organ)
 
*leaf anatomy and morphology trait (plant organ> phyllome> leaf)
 
''all of this group should go under the new class: plant organ trait (TO:0000736), above''
 
  
''Ok''
+
==[https://sourceforge.net/p/obo/plant-trait-ontology-to-requests/271/ specific leaf area]==
  
*relative shoot elongation under submergence (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis (syn: shoot))
+
Request from SF: Specific leaf area
*shootless (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis (syn: shoot))
+
* definition: leaf area measured in ratio to leaf dry mass.
*shoot habit (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis (syn: shoot))
+
* synonym: leaf specific area
*stem anatomy and morphology trait (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis > stem)
+
* might need addition of 'leaf dry mass' as new trait.
*tiller angle (plant organ > plant axis > shoot axis >shoot-borne shoot system> axillary shoot system >basal axillary shoot (syn: tiller))
 
''all of this group should go under the new class: shoot axis anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000739), above''
 
  
''Ok''
 
  
*hypocotyl length (COP > shoot internode > stem internode > hypocotyl)
+
Existing terms:
*mesocotyl length (COP > shoot internode > stem internode > mesocotyl)
+
* name: '''specific leaf area (TO:0000562)''' -is_a: TO:0000540 ! leaf area
*plant color (whole plant)
 
*plant height (whole plant)
 
  
''Not sure where to put these right now- TBA''
+
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)
  
==fruit structure trait (TO:0000357)==
+
Or "A leaf area trait (TO:0000540) that is the ratio of the leaf area (TO:0000540) to the leaf dry mass (TO:New)
current def'n: Traits associated with changes in the anatomy or structure of the fruit and its parts.
 
  
fruit (PO:0009001) is_a collective plant structure, along with anther, root system and shoot system, sorus and cenosorus.

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.
