-Barbara Ambrose (fern evo-devo) from the New York Botanic Garden will join this part of the meeting.

• 1. gametophytic phase and sporophytic phase

These were moved to be children of whole plant growth stage (PO:0007033) and the term "plant life cycle phase (PO:0028001) was obsoleted for now till we have further discussion on it.

• 2. Also, the top class in the ontology is 'plant growth and developmental stage(s)', def'n = The succession of changes leading from the zygote to the mature plant- that is only the sporophytic phase.

• 3. Reorganization of entire upper level structure of the PGDSO, so we can incorporate all plants

List_of_terms_without_is_a_parents in numerical order

Categorized list of terms without parents

• Primordium

Need a class primordium, and need to make one definition for it. Also need to organize primordium terms

We may also want to link primordia to stages in the PGDSO, where appropriate.

For example, ovule primordium (PO:0000018) participates in ovule primordium visible (PO:0007620) or ovule primordium visible (PO:0007620) has_participant ovule primordium (PO:0000018).
