Summary of Changes to PO Jan2011

List of Obsoleted Terms

• pollen tube (PO:0006345) 97 pages of annotations:all from Arabidopsis

• pollen tube tip (PO:0000028) 9 annotations from Arabidopsis

• root hair (PO:0000256) ~100 annotations from various sources
• root hair tip (PO:0000029) 1 annotation from Arabidopsis

• floral epidermis (PO:0008043) 1 annotation from Arabidopsis

• floral stomatal complex (PO:0008044) No Annotations

• elongation zone (PO:0020125) (because definition was incorrect and added new term with same name, new id)? Not found on live site?

see: [Term] id: PO:0003003 name: primary root elongation zone def: "A zone of small, densely cytoplasmic cells that are dividing and expanding in size located behind the zone of cell division in the primary root." [TAIR:ki] is_a: PO:0020125 ! elongation zone relationship: part_of PO:0020127 ! primary root

The term that was obsoleted was elongation zone (PO:0020125). Now that I see the definitions, I think primary root elongation zone and lateral root elongation zone should be obsoleted for the same reason. I will obsolete them and put in replacement terms

• papilla? (do you mean papillae (PO:0002001)?? does not seem to be obsoleted??.

def: "A soft protuberance on an epidermal cell of the stigma." [ISBN:0471245208] subset: reference?

It was papillae that was obsoleted. I just checked the editor's file, and it has been obsoleted.

• unicellular trichome branch??

trichome branch (PO:0008031) was obsoleted and replaced by multicellular trichome branch cell in PO plus unicellular trichome branch in GO.

List of New Terms

• plant anatomical entity (PO:0025131): An anatomical entity (CARO:0000000) that is or was part of a plant.
• plant anatomical space (PO:0025117): An anatomical space (CARO:0000005) that is part of a plant.
• reproductive shoot system (PO:0025082): A shoot system in the sporophytic phase that has as part at least one sporangium.

List of Renamed Terms

• Secretory trichome was renamed glandular trichome
• seed trichome was made the primary name for PO:0004511, (changed seed hair to exact synonym, added pubescence as related synonym)
• root differentiation zone (PO:0020135; renaming of old term differentiation zone)
