possible changes in process for 'traity terms' (was GO Vs Traits)

[Leonore Reiser]

Hi- a few thoughts for comment.

Regarding Pankaj's comments about traits and process, and considering
Michael and Midori
and Lincoln's comments.

1. remove disease resistance (GO:0009614) and replace with

response to pathogen (incompatible interaction)

def: a response of an organism to a pathogenic agent that
that prevents the occurance or spread of disease.


then make similar changes to

resistance to pathogenic fungi GO:0009619
resistance to pathogenic bacteria GO:0009622
resistance to pathogenic protozoa GO:0001564

2. remove drought tolerance GO:0009633.
 also remove freezing tolerance GO:0009632 on the same basis


3. Change the wording of things like
 cold response GO:0009409 to response to cold


def: a change in state or activity of an organism (in terms of movement,
secretion, changes in gene expression, enzyme production, etc..) as a
result of exposure to temperatures below the optimal range for that
organism

 and similarly change
heat response GO: 0009408 to response to heat

def: a change in state or activity of an organism (in terms of movement,
secretion, changes in gene expression, enzyme production, etc..) as a
result of exposure to temperatures above the optimal range for that
organism

4.
%flooding response ; GO:0009413  already exists , could change the string
for consistancy to response to flooding...

>

> >

5. add drought recovery

def?:a change in state or activity of an organism (in terms of movement,
secretion, changes in gene expression, enzyme production, etc..) as a
result of prolonged deprivation of water that results in a return to a
normal (non-stressed) state.


6. Elongation as a process is just awaiting me getting it together to send
out a new set of terms (prompted by expansins) for cell elongation and
related terms (e.g. wall loosening...). I
assume that elongation in response to flooding refers to cell
elongation in the internodes -yes ( which can be measured as an increase
in height).

Thanks in advance for feedback.
