Update on Progress of Publications

-TIPS: An abstract/proposal was submitted to Trends in Plant Science on Dec 31st, 2010. Unfortunately, it was declined. Need to think about another journal that would be appropriate for a short review/update type paper. Possibly add an example of an analysis using PO terms. Possible target journal: 'Current Opinions in Plant Biology'

-Plant Physiology: RW and LC are working on an outline for 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, including restructuring of PSO and PGDSO. Will focus on how PO is now applicable to a wider range of plant species.

- Others? Maybe a short topics paper for American Journal of Botany?

While we were at PAG, DWS mentioned the editor of AJBOT wants him to put together a short paper for them- maybe can focus on PO?

This is also a requirement for OBO Foundry acceptance (see discussion below).
