New synonyms

This is only to highlight synonyms that are substantially different than the primary term name (e.g., cone as a synonym of strobilus).

working on 363 synonyms from FNA

Merged terms

plant structure development stage (PO:0007021) into plant growth and development stage (PO:0009012) -- plant structure development stage is primary name

Other Changes:

carpel anlagen (PO:0006005) (revised)

added a comment to leaf intercalary meristem: The leaf intercalary meristem does not include a leaf plate meristem (PO:0025429)

-made flower meristem is_a reproductive shoot apical meristem, revised def'n

-made phyllome marginal meristem part_of phyllome

-added exact synonym to leaf marginal meristem: leaf margin blastozone

added has_participant relations between the following terms:

-trichome development stage (PO:0025368) and trichome (PO:0000282)

-seed trichome development stage (PO:0025369) and seed trichome (PO:0004511)

Changed the aspect (namespace) from plant_growth_and_development_stage to plant_structure_development_stage

Moved leaf trichome development stage (PO:0007039) to be is_a trichome development stage. new def'n: A trichome development stage that has as primary participant a leaf trichome. (POC:Curators)

Modified def'n: seed trichome: (PO:0004511): A trichome that develops from seed coat epidermis.

Got rid of old GRO synonyms on sporophyte dormant stage.

Made seed is_a plant structure. Updated definition. Removed seed_part of fruit and added develops_from ovule, has_part embryo

Added seed dormant stage has_part plant embryo dormant stage
