leonore,

your comments are right, we need those terms. As a trait "elongation" is
referred as "Elongation ability". therefore i have reframed it for "Elongation
ability" under the traits. That is how the breeders and Susan suggested me.

I am going through the photosynthesis, realted terms these days and will get
back to you when i compile them.
Yesterday, i have sent my trait ontology files to be put up on the CVS server. I
hope it will be up soon. BTW sdid you send all teh info Lincoln wanted with ref.
to CVS facility.

thanks
pankaj
