Revisions to Upper Level Hierarchy:

  • Formerly:
    • plant environment ontology (EO:0007403)
      • abiotic environment (EO:0007191)
      • biotic environment (EO:0007357)
      • study type (EO:0007231)
      • unknown environment (EO:0007403)

plant environment ontology (EO:0007359):

Upper level term plant environment ontology (EO:0007359) needs to be renamed and redefined.

  • Current def'n:

plant environment ontology (EO:0007359): A set of standardized controlled vocabularies to describe various types of treatments given to an individual plant / a population or a cultured tissue and/or cell type sample to evaluate the response on its exposure. It also includes the study types, where the terms can be used to identify the growth study facility. Each growth facility such as field study, growth chamber, green house etc is a environment on its own it may also involve instances of biotic and abiotic environments as supplemental treatments used in these studies.

The issue is that this definition is defining the ontology as a whole instead of defining a general plant environment.

  • Revised name and def'n:

plant environment (EO:0007359): A plant treatment, growing condition, and/or study type applied to a whole plant (PO:0000003), a plant structure (PO:00090119), and/or a plant population to evaluate the plant response.

Revised comment: The Plant Environment Ontology describes the treatments, growing conditions, and/or study types used in various types of plant biology experiments. The subjects of the studies may also include in vitro plant structures (PO: PO:0000004). A plant treatment is the most specific, and may be a component of a plant growing condition. The broadest classes are the plant study types where the terms can be used to identify the growth study facility. Each growth facility such as field study, growth chamber, green house etc is a environment on its own it may also involve instances of biotic and abiotic treatments and different growing conditions.
