proposed def: A short, enlarged storage stem in which the internodes do not elongate. Comment: usually underground.
 
 
child of stem (PO:0009047).

Their comment: is synonym to Tubercle
 
 
podarium (from Beentje 2010): (in cacti or other succulents) a modified leaf base functioning as the photosynthesising organ.
 
 
tubercle (from Beentje 2010): (in ball- or barrel- shaped cacti), cone-shaped protuberances that are elnarge modified leaf bases fused with adjacent stem tissue (tubercle has two other definitions as well).
 
 
proposed def:
 
 
 
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3080913&group_id=76834&atid=835555 pneumatophore]
 
 
definition from Beentje (2010): erect (breathing) root protruding above the soil, encountered especially in mangroves
 
 
proposed def: A root that is erect and protrudes above the soil, found in trees that live in flooded habitats such as mangroves. Comment: Pneumatophores may provide oxygen to below ground roots growing in flooded soils.
 
 
 
 
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3080916&group_id=76834&atid=835555 diaspore]
 
 
definition from Beentje (2010): reproductive portion of a plant, such as a seed, fruit or fragment of fruit, that is dispersed and may give rise to a new plant.
 
 
We could add this term as a kind of upper level bin term (similar to trichome)
 
 
 
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3080919&group_id=76834&atid=835555 cone]
 
 
Should probably be a synonym of strobilus (PO:0025083). Narrow or exact?

from Crum (2001): a cluster of fern sporangia
 
from Beentje (2010): (of pteridophytes) structure bearing or containing groups of sporangia.
 
 
Proposed definition: A cardinal organ part composed of a cluster of two or more adjacent sporagia on the surface of a leaf. Comment: May be enclosed by an indusium.
 
 
Part_of vascular leaf, has_part sporangium
 
 
 
[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3080925&group_id=76834&atid=835555 tendril]
 
 
Defintion from Beentje (2010): a slender, coiling structure derived from a branch, leaf or inflorescence and used for climbing.
 
 
tendrils can derived from multiple types of structures. Suggest we make separate terms:
 
 
branch tendril (child of branch): A branch that is slender and coiling. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
 
 
leaf tendril (child of leaf): A leaf that is slender and coiling and lacks a lamina. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
 
 
leaflet tendril (child of leaflet): A leaflet that is slender and coiling. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
 
 
leaf apex tendril (child of leaf apex): A leaf apex that is slender and coiling. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
 
 
Can add other types of tendrils if they come up or users need them.

User requests still open on Source Forge; PGDSO

tuber growth and development stages

This item has been open on SF since 6/2009

I have a bunch of potato genes which are expressed in different tuber developmental stages (e.g. the potato pmt gene is expressed in small sprouts only (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16088399).

Suggested stages:

-sprout development (does this correspond to tube axillary bud development? Should come after tuber maturation)

-tuber initiation

-tuber growth

-tuber maturation

How we work these in will depend on restructuring of PGDSO

l development in legumes (Plant Physiol, March 2003, Vol. 131, pp. 911-926

terms for seed development stages

This is a fairly new request for terms for cotton
