Summary of Changes to PO October 2011

general

Added new term flower fascicle (PO:0025323)

Made embryo apical cell (PO:0025284) is_a sporophyte m.a.c., rather than is_a m.a.c., to fix redundancy.

Added OBSOLETE as prefix to the definitions of all recently obsoleted terms.

Anther and anther theca are both collective plant structures (see SF tracker for anther theca), but their definitions were not updated. Fixed them. Added comment to anther.

Merging terms to get rid of Zea/Poaceae terms

Existing PO structure for Poaceae anther is below. All of these terms had to be merged, in order to merge zea anther into anther.

made the following merges:

First, got rid of part_of relations. After merging, changed Zea and Poaceae terms to narrow (rather than exact) synonyms. Also, merging gets rid of the "Type: Spanish synonym" tag. Got rid of the extra Spanish synonyms.
