old def'n: A phyllome development stage (PO:0025579) that has as a primary participant a leaf (PO:0025034).
Revised def'n: A phyllome development stage (PO:0025579) in which the development of vascular leaves (PO:0009025) and non-vascular leaves (PO:0025075) occurs.
- No comment currently
multi-tissue plant structure development stage (PO:new PO:0025571)

vascular leaf development stage and child terms
Proposed new term and definition:
- vascular leaf development stage (new PO:0025570): A leaf development stage (PO:0001050) which begins with the onset of the vascular leaf initiation stage (PO:0001051) and ends with the termination of the vascular leaf senescence stage (PO:0001054).
- No comment currently
vascular leaf initiation stage (PO:0007040) and child terms:
- Old def'n: The earliest histological evidence of leaf initiation, i.e, a change in the orientation of cell division both in the epidermis and in internal layers of the shoot meristem occurs at this stage (Poethig S, 1997, Plant Cell 9:1077-1087).
* Revised def'n: A vascular leaf development stage (PO:0025570) which begins with the onset of the vascular leaf anlagen formation stage (PO:0001003) and ends with the termination of the vascular leaf primordium polarity determination stage (PO:0001052).
- Revised Comment: Localized cell divisions in the peripheral zone (PO:0000225) transition from anticlinal to periclinal divisions.
vascular leaf anlagen formation stage (PO:0001003)
- Old name and definition: formation of the leaf founder cells stage (PO:0001003): The initial stage of leaf development when cells in the SAM are already determined to form a leaf primordium, but the primordium itself is not distinguishable morphologically.
- Revised name and definition: vascular leaf anlagen formation stage (PO:0001003): A vascular leaf initiation stage (PO:0007040) when the cells of the shoot apical meristem (PO:0020148) form a vascular leaf anlagen (PO:0025431).
Revised comment: The vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) is not yet distinguishable.
Added Revised synonym (exact): vascular leaf founder cell formation stage
Question: Are the leaf founder cells the same as the leaf analgen? It would appear so.
- Definition from Nature Review: Tsiantis1 & Hay, 2003:
LEAF FOUNDER CELLS: A group of cells that encompasses several layers of the shoot apical meristem and from which a leaf primordium is derived. Founder cells do not function as stem cells but rather have a determinate fate and can be defined by histological, clonal and molecular criteria.
vascular leaf anlagen (PO:0025431): A phyllome anlagen (PO:0025430) that will give rise to a vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) and is part of a peripheral zone (PO:0000225) of a vegetative shoot apical meristem (PO:0008016). [source: PMID:14732442, POC:curators]
Comment: This is the region where you have the maximum concentration of auxin in the SAM (at least in a few species that have been studied).
See image: founder-cell population (FC) that will give rise to the next leaf primordium
vascular leaf primordium formation stage (PO:0001019)
-was formerly a child of leaf expansion, moved to leaf initiation stage
- Old name and def'n: formation of leaf primordium stage PO:0001019: Stage of leaf development when leaf primordium is formed as a small protrusion on the flank of SAM. [source: TAIR:Katica_Ilic]
- Revised name and def'n: vascular leaf primordium formation stage (PO:0001019): A vascular leaf initiation stage (PO:0001051) during which a vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) forms in the peripheral zone (PO:0000225) of the shoot apical meristem (PO:0020148). should this be "vegetative shoot apical meristem"?
Revised comment: The vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) develops from the vascular leaf anlagen (PO:002543).
vascular leaf primordium polarity determination stage (new PO:0025572)
* vascular leaf primordium polarity determination stage (PO:0025572): A vascular leaf initiation stage (PO:0001051) during which the vascular leaf primordium (PO:0004725) develops an adaxial side (PO:0004726) and an abaxial side (PO:0004725).
Comment: The vascular leaf primordium adaxial side (PO:0004726) is the closest side to the meristem. This stage leads to the development of a bifacial vascular leaf.
This term refers to the following two terms (children of phyllome primordium (PO:0025128); both have also been revised:
- Old name and def'n: adaxial side of leaf primordium (PO:0004726): "A portion of phyllome primordium tissue that is the adaxial/inner side of the leaf primordium develops into the adaxial/upper leaf blade.
- New name and def'n: vascular leaf primordium adaxial side (PO:0004726): "A portion of vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) that faces the shoot apical meristem (PO:0020148) and develops into the adaxial (upper) side of the leaf lamina (PO:0020039).
- Old name and def'n: abaxial side of leaf primordium (PO:0004725): A portion of phyllome primordium tissue that is the abaxial/outer side of a leaf primordium and develops into the abaxial/lower leaf blade.
- New name and def'n: vascular leaf primordium abaxial side (PO:0004725): A portion of vascular leaf primordium (PO:0000017) that faces away from the shoot apical meristem (PO:0020148) and develops into the abaxial (lower) side of the leaf lamina (PO:0020039).
Comments: The vascular leaves (PO:0009025) of some plants may not have an obvious adaxial or abaxial side such as the leaves of many xerophytic (arid-adapted) species. The adaxial and abaxial side may appear considerably more rounded and this could be due to early activity of the vascular leaf adaxial meristem (PO:0025401) and/or leaf abaxial meristem (PO:0025401).

Development of parts of the leaf
Need to consider if the following stage terms are appropriate under vascular leaf expansion stage (PO:0001052) due to the fact that these terms are for the development of specific parts of some plants.
- formation of vascular leaflet primordia stage (PO:0004500): A vascular leaf expansion stage (PO:0001052) at which a leaflet primordium (PO:0025481) is initiated on the leaf rachis (PO:0020055) of a compound leaf (PO:0020043).
- formation of ligule primordium stage (PO:0001021): A vascular leaf expansion stage (PO:0001052) when conical P3 leaf completely encloses SAM, and the ligule (PO:0020105) primordium is visible.
- hood-shaped primordium stage (PO:0001020): A vascular leaf expansion stage (PO:0001052) when a hood-shaped primordium is formed, partially enclosing P1 and SAM, as in Poaceae.
- rapid elongation of leaf sheath stage (PO:0001024): A vascular leaf expansion stage (PO:0001052) during which a rapid elongation of the leaf sheath (PO:0020104) occurs.
Strwaberry Genomics Annotation Project
Yes, I have been working with Omar Darwish on annotating the samples and stages for their project. You can view the annotations here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar1O1Y7eIKhsdHhObVd5UUZGT1BaalRKQ1FyMWx0dFE&usp=sharing
They have a nice page where you can view the samples they used: http://bioinformatics.towson.edu/strawberry/newpage/Tissue_Description.aspx see slide #2
I was planning for us to discuss this at tomorrow's meeting- I suggest we need to create a specific term for receptacle cortex and receptacle pith.
I also have a question about using the plant embryo stages, as these refer to the developemental stages of the whole plant. rather than an individual embryo ( sporophyte development stage (PO:0028002)). I related the samples tot he stages of development of the individual fruits- the achenes.
Pakanj asked about using the BBCH- here is a link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCH-scale_%28strawberry%29. It is more whole plant focused and call the whole strawberry a fruit.
