Revision as of 19:04, 28 March 2011

POC meeting, Webex Conference Call; Date: Tuesday Apr 5th, 2011 10am (PDT)

In attendance:

POC members:

Absent:

Collaborators:


Acceptance of the minutes from the POC_Conf._Call_3-29-11?

Issues arising from last week's meeting:

New Physcomitrella and related terms

Sporangium and its parts

This is continued from our discussion at the POC_Conf._Call_3-8-11


Plant organs:

cauloid

- This is the term used for the gametophore stem or axis.

Suggest using gametophore axis as primary name, cauloid as synonym.

Proposed def'n: A shoot axis that is part of a gametophore.

Synonyms: cauloid, gametophyte axis, non-vascular shoot axis (broad, because it can also apply to the seta); participates_in gametophytic phase.

intersection_of: is_a plant axis, intersection_of: part_of gametophore

-Also suggest adding terms for gametophore stem and gametophore branch.


gametophore stem: A stem that is part of a gametophore.

is_a stem, part_of gametophore


gametophore branch: A branch that is part of a gametophore.

is_a branch, part_of gametophore


-If the intersection_of relations are asserted in the end user's version (e.g. Amigo), users will see dual parentage (is_a gametophore axis and is_a stem or branch).

perigonial bract

- The specialized phyllids surrounding the antheridia.

Ref: Bill and Nancy Malcolm (2006): Mosses and other Bryophytes, an illustrated glossary, second edition (MO definition)

A bract (PO:0009055) is defined as: A phyllome, usually different in form from the foliage leaves, subtending a reproductive structure. [source: POC:curators] Comment: Often used to refer to what is called here floral bract.

Proposed def'n: A bract that subtends an antheridium. part_of gametophore, participates in gametophytic phase

Comment: When an antheridium occurs on a specialized lateral branch of the gametophore, all of the phyllomes on that branch are usually perigonial bracts. If an antheridium occurs on a main axis of the gametophore, usually only the terminal phyllomes are perigonial bracts.

foot

Moss Ontology definition: The base of the sporophytes in mosses

Proposed name and def.: sporophyte foot: A plant organ (?) that is the base of a whole plant in the sporophytic phase, below the seta, that attaches it to the gametophore. (ref: Schofeld)

Comment: Found in bryophytes. The sprophyte foot serves for both attachment and absorption. The outer portion of the foot is the absorptive haustorium. (From Crum)

participates_in sporophytic phase, has_part transfer cell, only_in_taxon bryophytes (I know this isn't a clade, will have to create a pseudo-clade).

- Should we add a term for sporophyte foot haustorium when we deal with portions of plant tissue or is the whole foot the haustorium?
