peduncle (PO:0009053): A shoot axis that extends from the last foliage leaf on a stem or branch until the next distal node.
 
  
CommentIn plants with single flowers, the peduncle ends with a flower. In plants with inflorescences, the peduncle is the basal end of the primary inflorescence axis, and it ends where the inflorescence begins to branch. The peduncle marks the axial transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. In branching inflorescences, the second order inflorescence axis from the point at which it leaves the main axis up to the point at which it branches again may be called the second order peduncle. Higher order peduncles are also possible.

No PATO term for waxiness- suggested new term on SF. suggested definitions: the state or quality of being waxy or the presence of long chain aliphatic lipids on the surface of an organism.
+
Proposed to create two subcategories for leaf a&m trait 
  
see related PO terms: 
+
*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).
*cuticular wax (PO:0025386)-A portion of plant substance comprised predominantly of very long chain aliphatic lipids and is part of a plant cuticle.
 
comment: Also includes triterpenoids and minor secondary metabolites, such as sterols and flavonoids. May be embedded within or external to the layer of cutin of the cuticle proper. Phenotypically, wax is distinguished as the glaucous or whitish bloom on a part of a plant shoot system that corresponds to crystalloid epicuticular wax with light scattering capacity.
 
**intercuticular wax (PO:0025389)- A portion of cuticular wax that is an amorphous mixture of lipids embedded in the cutin of a cuticle proper.
 
comment: The intercuticular wax is located adjacent to the cell wall.
 
**epicuticular wax(PO:0025388)- A portion of cuticular wax that forms crystalloids or a smooth film on the exterior of a cuticle.
 
comment:Epicuticular waxes may take a variety of forms, such as plates, ribbons, tubes, and rods.

+
We should also keep general leaf a&m traits such as leaf size to encompass both vascular and non-vascular leaves.
* peduncle width (TO:0000649): A peduncle anatomy and morphology trait (TO:0000776) which is associated with the width of a peduncle (PO:0025386). Refer to width (PATO:0000921)

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.
