List of New Terms

• plant anatomical entity (PO:0025131): An anatomical entity (CARO:0000000) that is or was part of a plant.
• plant anatomical space (PO:0025117): An anatomical space (CARO:0000005) that is part of a plant.
• reproductive shoot system (PO:0025082): A shoot system in the sporophytic phase that has as part at least one sporangium.
• gynoecium ridge (PO:0025088): A gynoecium in the early stages of development, characterized as a ridge on the abaxial surface of the floral meristem that develops from a gynoecium primordium.
