Revision 986 by Ramona Walls
Left merged terms as they are, but probably need to unmerge them if we go ahead.
Created new term plant structure developmental phase as parent term. Changed plant life cycle phase (PO:0025106) to whole plant life cycle phase, and made it a child of plant structure developmental phase.
Moved all of the different plant structure developmental stages to be children of plant structure developmental phase.
Moved the whole plant developmental stages to be children of whole plant life cycle phase and added (phase) to their names for clarity.
Moved (seed) germination, imbibition, and seedling growth to plant structure development branch, part_of sporophyte development. -Made new terms for seed phase and seedling phase, made them part_of sporophytic phase. -This makes seed germination both a plant life cycle process and a plant life cycle phase transition. Probably need to distinguish between the two or get rid of one of them.
Seedling growth should not part of germination; removed part_of relation.
Left radicle emergence and shoot emergence as they were, as an example of why current PGDSO is inconsistent (a mixture of developmental processes and developmental phases).
Can development (such as seedling development or shoot emergence) be part_of a life cycle phase (seedling phase)?
Put in GO definition of developmental process (GO: 0032502) under plant structure development. Changed to developmental process (makes it more clear that this is a not a phase).
