Open trackers: To be addressed: PSDS Terms
shoot system development stage
Revisions and new terms needed for grape data set:
We are deficient in terms to describe the stages of development of the shoot system (PO:0009006).
We currently have collective plant organ structure development stage (PO:0025338) with two direct child terms: flower development stage (PO:0007615) and inflorescence development stage (PO:0001083).
I suggest we should have:
shoot system development stage (PO:0025527): A plant structure development stage (PO:0009012) that has as primary participant a shoot system (PO:0009006).
added relations: shoot system (PO:0009006) participates_in shoot system development stage
New term: bud burst stage (PO:0025532): A shoot system development stage (PO:0025527) during which a shoot system (PO:0009006) emerges from the bud (PO:0009006). Synonyms: exact: E-L 4
bud development stage (PO:0025528): A shoot system development stage (PO:0025527) that has as primary participant a bud (PO:0009006).
added relations: bud (PO:0009006) participates_in bud development stage (PO:0025528).
bud dormancy stage (PO:0025529): proposed def'n: A bud development stage (PO:0025528) during which a bud (PO:0009006) participates in a bud dormancy process (GO:0097207)
bud dormancy process GO:0097207
Definition: A dormancy process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken in a bud. Bud dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated. It may be a response to environmental conditions such as seasonality or extreme heat, drought, or cold. The exit from bud dormancy is marked by the resumed growth of the bud.
Source: GOC:PO_curators, PO_REF:00009
Comment: Bud dormancy may precede dormancy of the whole plant.
Then we added:
New term: bud swell stage PO:0025531
Synonyms: exact: E-L 2 Definition: A bud development stage (PO:0025528) during which a bud (PO:0009006) enlarges due to growth of the shoot system (PO:0009006).
reproductive shoot system development stage (new PO:0025530)
Proposed def'n: A shoot system development stage (PO:0025527) that has as primary participant a reproductive shoot system (PO:0025082).
add relation: reproductive shoot system (PO:0025082) participates_in reproductive shoot system development stage (PO:0025530).
and revise the two existing child terms:
flower development stage (PO:0007615): A collective plant organ structure development stage (PO:0025338) that has as primary participant a flower (PO:0009046).
flower development stage (PO:0007615): A reproductive shoot system development stage (PO:0025530) that has as primary participant a flower (PO:0009046).
already has a cross product flower is participant
inflorescence development stage (PO:0001083)
current def'n: Stages of development of an inflorescence defined by characteristic morphological, structural, histological or other visible features.
Revised: A reproductive shoot system development stage (PO:0025530) that has as primary participant a inflorescence (PO:0009049).
added relation: inflorescence (PO:0009049) participates_in reproductive shoot system development stage (PO:0025530)
All have DbxRef to OBO_SF_PO: 3595703
New terms added during last release: PSDS Terms

Upcoming meetings and Presentations 2013:
Phenotype Ontology RCN Annual Summit Meeting, Feb. 25th - 27th, 2013, Durham, NC
The workshop and meeting will be held at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in Durham, NC, from Monday morning, February 25 through Wednesday noon, February 27th (you would arrive Sunday evening).
Overall goals: To introduce and establish communication and collaboration among scientists from different research backgrounds. The two primary themes: The use of text mining phenotypes and representing behavior in ontologies.

Biocuration 2013 conference, Cambridge, 7-10th April 2013
submission deadline for abstracts for posters is Jan 31st.
website and registration are now open: Biocuration 2013
PRO-PO-GO meeting, May 15-16th 2013
Please see this page for more information: PRO-PO-GO_Meeting
Location: Buffalo, NY
Dates: May 15-16th, 2013.
Goals:
- To educate members of the PRO, PO and GO communities concerning developments in each of the three ontologies, with a view to enhanced coordination
- To identify potentially fruitful applications which such enhanced coordination might bring
- To enhance the Protein Ontology treatment of plant-related proteins
- To address coordination issues between the GO and PO, for example as concerns treatment of development stages
- To further those aspects of CROP which relate to PRO and GO [this is assuming that PRO is included as one of the external ontologies in CROP]
Tentative participant list:
PO Consortium members: Pankaj Jaiswal and Laurel Cooper (OSU), Dennis Stevenson (NYBG), Barry Smith (Buffalo), others?
GO Consortium members: Jane Lomax (EBI), Judith Blake (JAX), Alex Diehl (Buffalo) who else?
PRO Consortium members: Cathy Wu, Alan Ruttenberg (Buffalo)
BS would like a list of who we would like to include in the meeting and whose costs can be covered by PO
10th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) Montpellier, 26-30 May 2013
Extended Semantic Web Conference Montpellier
Location: Montpellier, 26-30 May 2013.
Semantics for Biodiversity (S4BIODIV)
Agropolis Montpellier, the University of Montpellier and Bioversity are collaborating to organize a one-day workshop entitled 'Agrobiodiversity semantics' as part of the larger conference.
Paraphrased from email exchange with EA (Bioversity):
Ontologies will be part of the workshop discussion. The latest development sent by Justin on AISO also raised interest of the organizing committee. So, we would you like that the Plant Ontology team be represented in the scientific committee of our workshop.
This is a very first draft of course but will provide you with the context, scientific objectives, and expected outputs. Would you accept in principle (if the workshop is accepted and funds raised) to join our committee and submit a a paper for a presentation and/or poster? Deadline will be March and April.
