Acceptance of the minutes from the POC_Conf._Call_7-05-11?
User requests, Plant Anatomy Ontology:
Legume terms submitted by Austin Mast
Remaining:
phyllode
Last week, we looked at examples of leaves where the petiole is a phyllode, but there is lamina development (with leaflets) beyond the lamina. In this case, the phyllode only represents the petiole portion of the leaf. We need a term to describe this, as well as when the whole leaf develops as a phyllode. Revisit this next week.
Proposed def: A vascular leaf in which the laminar development is a median plane (perpendicular to the axis), rather than the more common state of in a transverse plane (tangent to the axis).
Comment: Lamina development in a phyllode may occur in the region of the leaf that would normally develop into a petiole. In some leaves, the petiole may twist giving the appearance that the lamina is a phyllode, but it is not.
See references by Boke 1940 (http://www.jstor.org/stable/2436690, DOI:10.2307/2436690) and Kaplan 1970
Unifacial leaf as synonym? No- not the same, but similar development.
TraitNet requests:
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 (even though they define tubercle differently)
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: A modified leaf base
Comment: Functions as the photosynthesising organ in some cacti and other succulents.
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.
Comment: Pneumatophores are found in trees that live in flooded habitats such as mangroves. May provide oxygen to below ground roots growing in flooded soils.
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 and lacks a lamina. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
leaf apex tendril (child of leaf apex): A leaf apex that is slender and coiling. Comment: Found at the apex of a leaf lamina, but the leaf apex tendril is not laminar. Aids plant in climbing.
Can add other types of tendrils if they come up or users need them.
This is the way we defined spine (no parent class spine, only leaf spine and stipule spine with is_a relations to leaf and stipule).
Alternative is to create a parent 'tendril'(is_a plant structure) with children that are part_of the other structures:
tendril: A plant structure that is slender and coiling. Comment: Aids plant in climbing.
branch tendril is_a tendril part_of branch
leaf tendril is_a tendril part_of leaf
leaflet tendril is_a tendril part_of leaflet
leaf apex tendril is_a tendril part_of leaf apex
The part_of relations are technically correct (not proper part), but the problem is that according to the formal definitions, a leaflet tendril or a leaf apex tendril would be a leaf tendril as well.
Publications
- Plant Physiology: RW and LC are working on a manuscript to submit to Plant Physiology. This will be a more detailed description of the changes made to the PO in the past year, focusing on restructuring of PAO . Will focus on how PO is now applicable to a wider range of plant species.
Please send comments by Wednesday night. LC and RW will review all comments, condense into one draft, and send it out again.
Agreed to use "type" and "term" in the way BS suggested based on the Hill et al. 2008 gene annotation paper.
- Short topics paper for American Journal of Botany
The editor of AJBOT asked Dennis to put together a short paper for them- can focus on PO. This would be consistent with the goals of the Phenotype RCN to reach out more to the botany community.
Upcoming meetings 2011:
- Botany 2011 Meeting [Botany 2011] St. Louis, MO at the Chase Park Plaza, July 9-13.
Societies participating: Society for Economic Botany, the American Fern Society (AFS), the American Society of Plant Taxonomists (ASPT), and the Botanical Society of America (BSA).
DWS is attending, but will not present. Many people from the BSA will be at the IBC meeting in Melbourne.
- ICBO 2011 Second International Conference on Biomedical Ontology
July 26-30, 2011 Buffalo, New York ICBO
-LC will present the PO on Friday July 29th, 3:30pm in the session: "Parallel Sessions on Special Topics: The OBO Foundry, featuring discussions of the Infectious Disease Ontology, the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations, the Ontology for General Medical Sciences and the Plant Ontology"
