Change to gametophyte development stage
This change is urgent, because we need to address this in the manuscript in prep.
gametophyte development stage (PO:0028003) is currently defined as "A whole plant development stage that has as primary participant a whole plant during the interval between meiosis or apospory and its death or fertilization."
I think the last part about fertilization is misleading, because it suggests that the gametophyte stage could end in any plant with fertilization. Many gametophytic plants continue to live (and nourish the sporophyte) long after fertilization. In seed plants, the gametophyte does not exactly die after fertilization, but is transformed. I suggest we add something to the comment to help explain this, but keep the definition simpler.
New proposed definition: A whole plant development stage (PO:0007033) that has as primary participant a whole plant (PO:0000003) during the interval between meiosis or apospory and its death.
New addition to comment (rest stays the same): In seed plants, the gametophyte may be transformed by fertilization but not strictly die, such as when pollen (PO:0025281) germinates or when a plant embryo begins to develop within an embryo sac (PO:0025074) of an angiosperms.
Subclasses of whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042)
Under construction
Fix names of parent classes in definitions.
See SF tracker for FF.00 fruit size 10% and sibling terms
At the meeting on 9/4/12, we agreed to modify the names slightly to emphasize that they belong to whole plants, and to remove numbers. Definitions should be changed to use updated name of the parent term, and to make it clearer that they refer to whole plant stages.
What about plants with asynchronous fruit development? RW and MAG talked to Naama Menda about using these terms for tomato. She felt that these size classes were not useful for tomatoes, but in any case, they used the size classes only to describe individual fruits. They will need to go over all of there existing annotations and move them to fruit development stage and its new subtypes as necessary.
From BS: We need to make it clear for all these stages that we are dealing with the FMA calls a cannonical plant, that is, a typical plant. Also, when we talk about final fruit size being known, that implies that the phenotype of a given genotype is well known. Need to make these points in the paper.
FF.00 fruit size up to 10% stage (PO:0007032)
current def.: A fruit formation stage that begins with the formation of a zygote and ends when the fruit has reached 10% of its final size.
comment: This fruit development stage may begin without fertilization or formation of a zygote in cases of parthenocarpy, apomixis, or other hormone-induced conditions. This term can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known.
proposed new name and definition:
whole plant fruit formation stage up to 10%: A whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042) that begins with the formation of the first plant zygote (PO:0000423) of a growing season and ends when the average size of fruits (PO:0009001) on a whole plant (PO:0000003) has reached 10% of final size.
comment: This stage may begin without fertilization or formation of a plant zygote in cases of parthenocarpy, apomixis, or other hormone-induced conditions. This terms is best used for plant with more or less synchronous fruit development and can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known. This stage occurs only once in the life of annual plants, but may occur once for each growing season in perennial plants.
FF.01 fruit size 10 to 30% stage (PO:0007009)
current def.: A fruit formation stage that spans the interval when a fruit has reached 10% to 30% of its final size.
comment: This term can only be used of (sic) the final size of the fruit is known.
proposed new name and definition:
whole plant fruit formation stage 10 to 30%: A whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042) that spans the interval when the average size of fruits (PO:0009001) on a whole plant (PO:0000003) has reached 10% to 30% of final size.
comment: This terms is best used for plant with more or less synchronous fruit development and can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known. This stage occurs only once in the life of annual plants, but may occur once for each growing season in perennial plants.
FF.02 fruit size 30 to 50% stage (PO:0007029)
current def.: A fruit formation stage that spans the interval when a fruit has reached 30% to 50% of its final size.
comment: This term can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known.
proposed new name and definition:
whole plant fruit formation stage 30 to 50%: A whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042) that spans the interval when the average size of fruits (PO:0009001) on a whole plant (PO:0000003) has reached 30% to 50% of its final size.
comment: This terms is best used for plant with more or less synchronous fruit development and can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known. This stage occurs only once in the life of annual plants, but may occur once for each growing season in perennial plants.
FF.03 fruit size 50 to 70% stage (PO:0007007)
current def.: A fruit formation stage that spans the interval when a fruit has reached 50% to 70% of its final size.
comment: This term can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known.
proposed new name and definition:
whole plant fruit formation stage 50 to 70%: A whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042) that spans the interval when the average size of fruits (PO:0009001) on a whole plant (PO:0000003) has reached 50% to 70% of its final size.
comment: This terms is best used for plant with more or less synchronous fruit development and can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known. This stage occurs only once in the life of annual plants, but may occur once for each growing season in perennial plants.
FF.04 fruit size 70% to final size stage (PO:0007027)
current def.: A fruit formation stage that spans the interval when a fruit has reached 70% of its final size to its final size.
comment: This term can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known.
proposed new name and definition:
whole plant fruit formation stage 70% to final size: A whole plant fruit formation stage (PO:0007042) that spans the interval when the average size of fruits (PO:0009001) on a whole plant (PO:0000003) has reached 70% of its final size to its final size.
comment: This terms is best used for plant with more or less synchronous fruit development and can only be used of the final size of the fruit is known. This stage occurs only once in the life of annual plants, but may occur once for each growing season in perennial plants.

Subclasses of whole plant fruit ripening stage (PO:0007010)
The current definitions are very vague and circular! For now, propose just rewording them so it is clear that they refer to whole plants, but we will need to develop some more specific boundaries for these stages at some point.

Fruit development stage (PO:0001002) and subclasses
This term was a subtype of collective plant structure development stage, but has moved to be direct subtype of plant structure development stage.

proposed def.: A plant structure development stage (PO:0009012) that has as primary participant a fruit (PO:0009001).
comment: Defined by characteristic morphological, structural, histological or other visible features. May have as part a seed development stage (PO:0001170).
New sub-classes of fruit development stage
After last week's call, DWS suggested that we may be able to describe diverse types of fruit development by starting with the development of different parts of the fruit, like the mesocarp or endocarp, and then showing how development of different tissues leads to different types of fruits.
We could start with fertilization stage as a first stage in all fruit development (with parthenocarpy as an exception).
Should include a stage for fruit ripening, as this is common across all fruits.
Fertilization, expansion and differentiation, ripening and/or drying.
