====axial cell====
 
  
−
First we need to address the definition of axial cell, as it was written with angiosperms in mind.
+
Tiny filaments, scales or leaf-like structures scattered on the stems of some leafy bryophytes. Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition (MO definition)
  
−
'''axial cell (PO:0000081):''' A vascular cell derived from the fusiform cambial initial and oriented with its longest diameter parallel with the main axis of stem or root. [source: ISBN:0471245208]
+
Crum defines them as "Small green outgrowths formed between the leaves on stems and branches of some pleurocarps (mosses that produce archegonia and sporophytes laterally, rather than on the tips of their axes) and a very few leafy liverworts."
  
−
Comment: These cells make up the axial system, also known as vertical or longitudinal system.
+
Schofield describes paraphyllia as outgrowths of the epidermis, but he also describes leaves that way.
  
−
We cannot define axial cell as a vascular cell, because that doesn't exist, and it includes non-conductive cells such as fibers. Also, not all axial cells that we are trying to include are derived from a fusiform initial. They also occur in leaves, with random orientations.
+
Moss Ontology has paraphyllium listed as a plant organ, but they do not arise from the SAM as phyllomes do.
  
−
Is axial cell the best name for this term? The phrase "axial system" is already used to describe the vascular tissue in wood, so "axial cells" might be automatically associated with that system.
+
'''Proposed definition:''' A portion of epidermal tissue that is a small outgrowth from the epidermis between the leaves of a gametophore axis.
  
−
'''Proposed definition:''' A elongated plant cell that is oriented parallel to other axial cells in the same portion of axial tissue
+
Comment: Paraphyllia are much smaller than leaves and may be filamentous, scale-like, or leaf-like. Found in pleurocarpous mosses and a few leafy liverworts.
  
−
Comment: In plant axes, axial cells and axial tissue are oriented with their longest axis parallel to the axis, but in phyllomes, they may have other orientations. Axial cells function in support or in the conduction of water, carbohydrates and minerals.
+
is_a epidermis, part_of gametophore axis

===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3293292&group_id=76834&atid=835555 axillary hair (PO:0030060)]===
−
(We can address these definitions now or come back to them after the next release)
 
  
 +
Moss Ontology definition: A small filament in an axil consisting of one long terminal cell atop a basal stalk (also called club-hair). Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition
  
−
'''sieve tube member (PO:0000289, alt: PO:0000286):'''
+
This is a type of trichome. Axillary trichomes may also be found in angiosperms, but they are different, so suggest we specify that this for hairs in gametophores.
  
 +
'''Proposed def., gametophore axillary hair:''' A multicellular trichome consisting of one long terminal cell atop a basal stalk that grows in the leaf axil of a non-vascular leaf.
  
−
'''phloem fiber (PO:0004519):'''
+
Comment: Found in pleurocarpous mosses. Form in the axils of leaf primordia, and may disappear when the gametophore is mature.
  
 +
synonym: club-hair; part_of gametophore
  
−
'''xylem element (PO:0000273):'''
 
  
 +
''Make a new general term for '''axillary hair:''' A mutlicellular trichome that has as parts a long terminal cell atop a basal stalk and grows in a leaf axil.''

''comment: Found in monocots and mosses. The basal stalk may contain one or more cells.''
  
 +
''New proposed def. for '''gametophore axillary hair:''' An axillary hair that grows in a leaf axil of a non-vascular leaf.''
  
−
'''tracheid (PO:0000301):'''
+
''Will need to double check definitions of the parts of the axillary hair (from last week's agenda) to make sure they are consistent with this.  Add new terms for axillary hair terminal cell, axillary hair base, and axillary hair basal cell.''
  
 +
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3293893&group_id=76834&atid=835555 rhizoid (PO:0030071)]===
  
−
'''vessel member (PO:0002003):'''
+
Moss Ontology definition: Filamentous tissue protruding from the gametophore stem with a rooting function.
  
 +
Rhizoids may also grow from thalli. They arise from an epidermal intial (the rhizoid initial), and so are like trichomes. Like trichomes, they may be uni- or multicellular
  
−
'''xylem fiber (PO:0000274):'''
 
  
 +
'''Proposed def.:''' A trichome that is part of a plant in the gametophytic phase and has positive gravitropism.
  
−
'''fiber tracheid (PO:0000355):'''
+
Comment: Found in bryophytes and pteridophytes growing from the epidermis of the lower surface of a gametophore or thallus. May be multicellular or unicellular. Usually serves to anchor the plant to the substrate.
  
 +
Should we say: May also arise directly from a protonema or create a separate class for protonemal rhizoids?
  
−
'''libriform fiber (PO:0004520):'''
+
develops_from rhizoid initial, participates_in gametophytic phase
  
 +
''There was a discussion of how different rhizoids develop, and whether or not they could be grouped together. As rhizoid is currently defined, can't include protonemal rhizoids, because they don't develop from an epidermal initial. There are rhizoids on monocots (wurztelhalsrhizoid) that are not part of a gametophyte. Also need term for pegged rhizoids in liverworts.''
  
−
'''septate fiber (PO:0004521):'''
+
''We decided to make a new general class for rhizoids, a child of plant structure, that can include them all. Will put together new definitions and develops_from relations for the [[POC_Conf._Call_5-06-11]].''

−
====vascular tissue====
+
Moss Ontology definition: An abscission cell at the base of a gemma (vegetative propagule). Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition
  
−
For vascular plants, we have the class:
+
Their definition defines a cell type, but they have tmema as a tissue type. It would be the tissue composed of tmema cells
  
−
'''portion of vascular tissue (PO:0009015):''' A portion of plant tissue that has parts xylem and phloem. [APweb:Glossary]
+
'''Proposed def.:''' A portion of plant tissue that has as parts tmema cells.
  
−
Comment: Functions in conduction and support. In the stem it is often found as a stele, surrounded by the cortex and surrounding the pith.
+
Comment: Found in bryophytes at the base of a gemma. Participates in abscission of the gemma.
  
−
part_of vascular bundle (which is part_of vascular system)
+
participates_in gametophytic phase, has_part tmema cell (can't use tmema cell part_of tmema, because they can also occur as single cells in a protonema, next to a brachycyte)
  
−
This is okay, but suggest that we make it a child of the new class '''portion of axial tissue''' (see below), and also change definition to say xylem '''or''' phloem.
+
''Accepted''

===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3293931&group_id=76834&atid=835555 antheridium jacket layer (PO:0030053)]===
  
−
'''Proposed definition:''' A portion of axial tissue that has as parts tracheary elements or sieve tube members and is part of a vascular system.
+
Moss Ontology definition: A layer of cells that surrounds the spermatogenous tissue that cannot give rise to sperm.
  
−
Comment: Functions in conduction and support. In shoot axes, vascular tissue is often found as part of a stele or may occur as scattered vascular bundles. May include other types of tissue, such as fibers.
+
The term jacket layer is also used for the outer layer of sporangia. Suggest naming this term '''antheridium wall''' or '''antheridium jacket layer'''
  
−
currently part_of vascular bundle. Removed this relation, because it is not true for all plants, and a vascular bundle is now a portion of vascular tissue.
+
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of plant tissue that is a single layer of cells on the outside of an antheridium.
  
−
part_of vascular system
+
Comment: Cells in the antheridium jacket layer surround the inner spermatogenous cells and do not give rise to sperm cells.
  
 +
part_of antheridium; synonym: sterile jacket layer, antheridium wall

'''hydathode''' (PO:0005660) - A structural modification of vascular and non-vascular tissues, usually in a leaf, that permits the release of water through a pore in the epidermis. [GR:pj, ISBN:0080374913]
+
''Accepted.  Will use antheridium jacket layer as primary name.''
  
−
Should be is_a cardinal organ part. Do hydathodes ever occur on stems or branches, or are they always part of phyllomes?
+
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3295055&group_id=76834&atid=835555 hydrome (PO:0030047)]===
  
−
'''proposed definition:''' A cardinal organ part that releases water through a pore.
+
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of plant tissue that has as parts hyrdoids.
  
−
Comment: Usually found on leaves. Hydathodes may have one or more pores that appear to be incompletely developed stomata that lack the ability to open and close. Generally, hydathodes are located at the end of a minor vein. In many plants, hydathodes includes a portion of thin-walled parenchyma between the tracheary elements and the pore, known as an epithem. In some plants, hydathodes are associated with secretory tissue.
+
Comment: Found in bryophytes, in the center of a non-vascular shoot axis such as a gametophore axis or seta, or in the midrib of a non-vascular leaf. Often surrounded by leptome. May function in conduction of water and minerals and in support, similar to xylem in vascular plants.
  
 +
disjoint_from xylem, participates_in gametophytic phase
  
−
'''leaf vein''' (PO:0005417) - see more below details below
+
Synonyms: hydrom, leptoxylem (Hebant)
  
  
−
'''phloem''' (PO:0005417): A portion of vascular tissue whose principal function is conducting organic substances. [GR:pj]
+
''There was some discussion about exact wording of the definition. BS explained that to a logical reasoner, when you say that X has parts only Ys, it does not follow that X has as parts all the parts of Y. So, for example, hydrome has as parts only hydroid cells excludes the possibility that hydrome has_part hydroid cell nucleus, which of course is wrong.''
  
−
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of vascular tissue that has as parts sieve tube members.
 
  
−
Comment: Functions in the conduction of organic substances in vascular plants.
+
''Add to comment: A hydrome is composed of only hydroid cells.''
  
 +
''Can't use participates in gametophytic phase, because it can also occur in a seta of mosses.''
  
−
'''metaphloem''' (PO:0006076): Part of the primary phloem that differentiates after the protophloem and before the secondary phloem, if any of the latter is formed.
+
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3295055&group_id=76834&atid=835555 leptome (PO:0030048)]===

'''proposed definition:''' A portion of phloem tissue that is the part of a primary phloem that differentiates after the protophloem and before the secondary phloem, if any of the latter is formed.
+
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of plant tissue that has as parts leptoids.
  
 +
Comment: Found in bryophytes, in non-vascular shoot axes such as a gametophore axis or seta, or in the midrib of a non-vascular leaf. Often surrounding a central hydrome. May function in the conduction of organic substances, similar to phloem in vascular plants.
  
−
'''protophloem''' (PO:0006077): The first-formed elements of the primary phloem.
+
disjoint_from phloem, participates_in gametophytic phase

Synonyms: leptom, leptophloem (Hebant)
  
  
−
'''tracheid bar''' (PO:0019026): A distinct ring-like structure, composed of tracheid cells, which surrounds the hilum of some taxa e.g., Phaseolus, and forms a groove in the surface of the pericarp (immediately adjacent to the hilum). [ISBN:0080280293]
+
''Leptome has the same issues as hydrome.''
  
−
-should be is_a xylem
+
''Add to comment: A leptome is composed of only leptoid cells.''
  
 +
''Can't use participates in gametophytic phase, because it can also occur in a seta of mosses.''
  
−
'''xylem''' (PO:0005352): A portion of vascular tissue composed of (''that has as parts'') xylem elements.
+
''Need to add to definition of leptoid that they are anucleate at maturity.''
  
 +
===[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3295056&group_id=76834&atid=835555 stereome (PO:0030050)]===
  
−
'''vascular bundle (PO:0005020):''' A unit strand of the vascular system containing the vascular tissues, xylem and phloem. In addition vascular cambium is often present. [GR:pj]
+
From Hebant: A typical moss stem comprises, from the outside to the inside, an epidermis with a thin cuticle but no stomata, an outer cortex which frequently consists of supporting ells with thickended walls ("stereids"), an inner cortex of thin-walled conducting cells, and, in a number of species, a central strand of hydroids.
  
−
This currently is_a portion of plant tissue. Should be is_a portion of vascular tissue.
+
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of ground tissue that has as parts stereids.
  
−
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of vascular tissue that is a unit strand of the vascular system and has as part xylem or phloem.
+
Comment: Found in bryophytes in gametophore axes or non-vascular leaves. May function in support.

−
Comment: Axial tissue occurs in elongated strands. In plant axes, the axial tissue runs parallel to the axis, but may have other orientations in organs such as phyllomes.
+
From Crum: a group of cells forming a central axis of some stems, usually made of small, elongated cells
  
−
disjoint_from cortex, disjoint_from pith
+
From Schofeld: a central strand of smaller cells in the center of stems of many mosses.
  
  
−
Children of axial tissue: portion of vascular tissue, portion of non-vascular conducting tissue, portion of plant fiber and sterome. Should add disjoint_from relations between vascular tissue and non-vascular conducting tissue. (RW: insert image)
+
'''proposed definition:''' A portion of plant tissue that is an axial strand in the center of a gametophore axis and has as part hydrome or leptome.  
  
 +
Comment: Often contains both hydrome and leptome. Found in bryophytes. The term central strand is sometimes used to describe a root protostele in vascular plants, but this term should only be used for non-vascular plants. ''Should we add: analogous to a vein or vascular bundle in vascular plants?''

Moss Ontology has requested the term '''midrib''' for bryophytes. It is often called a '''costa'''.
 
  
−
We have the term '''midvein (PO:0020139):''' The central, and usually the most prominent, vein of a leaf or leaf-like organ. [source: APWeb:Glossary]

Perhaps this should refer to phyllome, rather than saying a "leaf or leaf-like organ".

Plant Tissues

paraphyllium (PO:0030069)

Tiny filaments, scales or leaf-like structures scattered on the stems of some leafy bryophytes. Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition (MO definition)

Crum defines them as "Small green outgrowths formed between the leaves on stems and branches of some pleurocarps (mosses that produce archegonia and sporophytes laterally, rather than on the tips of their axes) and a very few leafy liverworts."

Schofield describes paraphyllia as outgrowths of the epidermis, but he also describes leaves that way.

Moss Ontology has paraphyllium listed as a plant organ, but they do not arise from the SAM as phyllomes do.

Proposed definition: A portion of epidermal tissue that is a small outgrowth from the epidermis between the leaves of a gametophore axis.

Comment: Paraphyllia are much smaller than leaves and may be filamentous, scale-like, or leaf-like. Found in pleurocarpous mosses and a few leafy liverworts.

is_a epidermis, part_of gametophore axis

Paraphyllia.jpg The paraphyllia are the small, dark structures between the leaves.


Remove the word "small" from the definition. Don't need it.

Accepted

paraphysis (PO:0030070)

Moss Ontology definition: Sterile, septate, usually uniseriate hairs intermixed with sex organs. Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition

From Parihar: sterile, slender filaments accompanying reproductive organs.

From Schofeld: filamentous sterile structures intermixed with the sex organs of most mosses

These are a kind of trichome


Proposed def.: A slender, usually uniseriate multicellular trichome that grows intermixed with the gametangia.

Comment: Found in bryophytes and pteridophytes, especially in mosses.

adjacent_to gametangium, plural: paraphyses; particpates_in gametophytic phase

Should we add the adjacent_to relation? No. Adjacent to means they are in permanent contact, which is not appropriate here.


New proposed def: A slender multicellular trichome that grows between the gametangia.

Comment: Usually multiseriate. Found in bryophytes and pteridophytes, especially in mosses.


Accepted

axillary hair (PO:0030060)

Moss Ontology definition: A small filament in an axil consisting of one long terminal cell atop a basal stalk (also called club-hair). Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition

This is a type of trichome. Axillary trichomes may also be found in angiosperms, but they are different, so suggest we specify that this for hairs in gametophores.

Proposed def., gametophore axillary hair: A multicellular trichome consisting of one long terminal cell atop a basal stalk that grows in the leaf axil of a non-vascular leaf.

Comment: Found in pleurocarpous mosses. Form in the axils of leaf primordia, and may disappear when the gametophore is mature.

synonym: club-hair; part_of gametophore


Make a new general term for axillary hair: A mutlicellular trichome that has as parts a long terminal cell atop a basal stalk and grows in a leaf axil.

comment: Found in monocots and mosses. The basal stalk may contain one or more cells.

New proposed def. for gametophore axillary hair: An axillary hair that grows in a leaf axil of a non-vascular leaf.

Will need to double check definitions of the parts of the axillary hair (from last week's agenda) to make sure they are consistent with this. Add new terms for axillary hair terminal cell, axillary hair base, and axillary hair basal cell.

rhizoid (PO:0030071)

Moss Ontology definition: Filamentous tissue protruding from the gametophore stem with a rooting function.

Rhizoids may also grow from thalli. They arise from an epidermal intial (the rhizoid initial), and so are like trichomes. Like trichomes, they may be uni- or multicellular


Proposed def.: A trichome that is part of a plant in the gametophytic phase and has positive gravitropism.

Comment: Found in bryophytes and pteridophytes growing from the epidermis of the lower surface of a gametophore or thallus. May be multicellular or unicellular. Usually serves to anchor the plant to the substrate.

Should we say: May also arise directly from a protonema or create a separate class for protonemal rhizoids?

develops_from rhizoid initial, participates_in gametophytic phase

There was a discussion of how different rhizoids develop, and whether or not they could be grouped together. As rhizoid is currently defined, can't include protonemal rhizoids, because they don't develop from an epidermal initial. There are rhizoids on monocots (wurztelhalsrhizoid) that are not part of a gametophyte. Also need term for pegged rhizoids in liverworts.

We decided to make a new general class for rhizoids, a child of plant structure, that can include them all. Will put together new definitions and develops_from relations for the POC_Conf._Call_5-06-11.

tmema (PO:0030061)

Moss Ontology definition: An abscission cell at the base of a gemma (vegetative propagule). Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition

Their definition defines a cell type, but they have tmema as a tissue type. It would be the tissue composed of tmema cells

Proposed def.: A portion of plant tissue that has as parts tmema cells.

Comment: Found in bryophytes at the base of a gemma. Participates in abscission of the gemma.

participates_in gametophytic phase, has_part tmema cell (can't use tmema cell part_of tmema, because they can also occur as single cells in a protonema, next to a brachycyte)

Accepted

antheridium jacket layer (PO:0030053)

Moss Ontology definition: A layer of cells that surrounds the spermatogenous tissue that cannot give rise to sperm.

The term jacket layer is also used for the outer layer of sporangia. Suggest naming this term antheridium wall or antheridium jacket layer

proposed definition: A portion of plant tissue that is a single layer of cells on the outside of an antheridium.

Comment: Cells in the antheridium jacket layer surround the inner spermatogenous cells and do not give rise to sperm cells.

part_of antheridium; synonym: sterile jacket layer, antheridium wall


Accepted. Will use antheridium jacket layer as primary name.

hydrome (PO:0030047)

proposed definition: A portion of plant tissue that has as parts hyrdoids.

Comment: Found in bryophytes, in the center of a non-vascular shoot axis such as a gametophore axis or seta, or in the midrib of a non-vascular leaf. Often surrounded by leptome. May function in conduction of water and minerals and in support, similar to xylem in vascular plants.

disjoint_from xylem, participates_in gametophytic phase

Synonyms: hydrom, leptoxylem (Hebant)


There was some discussion about exact wording of the definition. BS explained that to a logical reasoner, when you say that X has parts only Ys, it does not follow that X has as parts all the parts of Y. So, for example, hydrome has as parts only hydroid cells excludes the possibility that hydrome has_part hydroid cell nucleus, which of course is wrong.


Add to comment: A hydrome is composed of only hydroid cells.

Can't use participates in gametophytic phase, because it can also occur in a seta of mosses.

leptome (PO:0030048)

proposed definition: A portion of plant tissue that has as parts leptoids.

Comment: Found in bryophytes, in non-vascular shoot axes such as a gametophore axis or seta, or in the midrib of a non-vascular leaf. Often surrounding a central hydrome. May function in the conduction of organic substances, similar to phloem in vascular plants.

disjoint_from phloem, participates_in gametophytic phase

Synonyms: leptom, leptophloem (Hebant)


Leptome has the same issues as hydrome.

Add to comment: A leptome is composed of only leptoid cells.

Can't use participates in gametophytic phase, because it can also occur in a seta of mosses.

Need to add to definition of leptoid that they are anucleate at maturity.

stereome (PO:0030050)

From Hebant: A typical moss stem comprises, from the outside to the inside, an epidermis with a thin cuticle but no stomata, an outer cortex which frequently consists of supporting ells with thickended walls ("stereids"), an inner cortex of thin-walled conducting cells, and, in a number of species, a central strand of hydroids.

proposed definition: A portion of ground tissue that has as parts stereids.

Comment: Found in bryophytes in gametophore axes or non-vascular leaves. May function in support.

participates_in gametophytic phase

Stereome has the same issues as hydrome.

Add to comment: A stereome is composed of only steroid cells.

Need to check to see if we can use participates in gametophytic phase, if it occurs in a seta or not.

central strand (PO:0030051)

From Crum: a group of cells forming a central axis of some stems, usually made of small, elongated cells

From Schofeld: a central strand of smaller cells in the center of stems of many mosses.


proposed definition: A portion of plant tissue that is an axial strand in the center of a gametophore axis and has as part hydrome or leptome.

Comment: Often contains both hydrome and leptome. Found in bryophytes. The term central strand is sometimes used to describe a root protostele in vascular plants, but this term should only be used for non-vascular plants. Should we add: analogous to a vein or vascular bundle in vascular plants?

synonyms: conducting strand, central cylinder

part_of gametophore axis (or can it also be part of a seta?)

Don't use part of gametophore axis. Can also be part of seta.

In defintion, say has as part a hydrome or a leptome.

New proposed comment: Often contains both hydrome and leptome. Found in bryophytes. The term central strand is sometimes used to describe a protostele in vascular plants, but this ONTOLOGY CLASS should only be used for non-vascular plants. Analogous to a vein or vascular bundle in vascular plants.

Accepted

costa (PO:0030072)

proposed definition: A portion of plant tissue that is a single or double strand in the center of a non-vascular leaf and has as part hydrome or leptome.

Comment: Found in bryophytes. Often contains both hydrome and leptome. Functions in support and conduction in a phyllid. The term costa is sometimes used for the midrib of monocot leaves, but this term should only be non-vascular leaves.

part_of non-vascular leaf

synonym: phyllid costa, phyllid midvein, phyllid midrib, non-vascular leaf midvein, non-vascular leaf midrib


New proposed comment: Found in bryophytes. Often contains both hydrome and leptome. Functions in support and conduction in a phyllid. The term costa is sometimes used for the midrib of monocot leaves, but this ONTOLOGY CLASS should only be USED FOR non-vascular leaves.
