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

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Leonore,

The terms you are trying to reframe appears to be fine. This should work.

May be you would like to include/reconfigure

%response to light (GO:0009416) 
 %response to light quality type (depends on the wavelength)
  %perception of light (GO:0009583) 
  %blue light response (GO:0009637) 
  %red/far-red light response (GO:0009639)
  %UV response (GO:0009411) 
 %response to light intensity (GO:0009642)(eg: response to shade/open light, its
trivial but people do use this term, more or less depends on the light enery)
  %photoinhibition (related with photosynthesis also)
  %photoreduction
 %response to photoperiod (GO:0009648) ; synonym: photoperiodism ; synonym:
response to duration of light

others to be included are
%photoemission
%photoexcitation
%photokinesis
%photolysis
%photoinactivation

you will need to look at the 

UV protection (GO:0009650) ???


i will be coming up with more terms on this later.
